    Abstract:
    A case of Listeria monocytogenes valvular endocarditis is reported. This patient required mitral and aortic valve replacement by Björk-Shiley mechanical prostheses. Patient clinical condition was progressively deteriorated, affecting the left ventricular function, increasing the size of vegetations and the presence of aortic annular abscess. This case represents the 48th reported in the literature and the third in our country. We here comment about the clinical aspects and the treatment of this infrequent entity.
