  • Title: Brucella endocarditis of pulmonary valve: a rare presentation.
    Author: Kasinadhuni GN, Kumar H M, Sharma AK, Vijayvergiya R.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2020 Mar 19; 13(3):. PubMed ID: 32198223.
    Abstract:
    Brucellosis is one of the most frequent zoonotic infections. Cardiac involvement is rare and when involved, affects aortic valve the most. The appearance of a new murmur on clinical examination during sepsis should suspect seeding on valves. Our patient had pulmonary valve endocarditis secondary to brucellosis which was managed with pharmacotherapy as there was no valvular pathology. Triple therapy is standard of care and usually given for months, non-response to pharmacological treatment warrants surgical intervention. Our patient completed the triple-drug regimen at 3 months and is asymptomatic at present.
