    Abstract:
    Infective endocarditis (IE) is rarely seen in pregnancy and puerperal period, and generally occurs in patients with preexisting heart disease or intravenous drug abuse. In this report, we describe a case of a 27-year-old patient with missed diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease and a moderate size patent ductus arteriosus, in whom multisite culture-negative IE/pulmonary endarteritis developed after uncomplicated vaginal delivery.
