    Abstract:
    Brucella infective endocarditis is an uncommon, but serious complication of brucellosis. The aortic valve is the most commonly affected cardiac valve. Due to characteristics of the infection, medical therapy alone is not sufficient in treating the disease and best results are obtained with surgery combination. We describe a case of Brucella endocarditis involving the aortic valve suspected in front of the clinical data and the results of serology, confirmed by the culture of the native valves. In association with the medical treatment, management valve replacement lead to a favorable medium-term evolution.
