  • Title: Tricuspid endocarditis following a Papanicolaou smear: case report.
    Author: Mong K, Taylor D, Muzyka T, Freed D, Koshal A.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 1997 Oct; 13(10):895-6. PubMed ID: 9374943.
    Abstract:
    Infective endocarditis is an uncommon complication of obstetrical and gynecological practice and has not been reported in the literature to be associated with Papanicolaou smears. The authors report a nonintravenous drug user who developed group B streptococcal endocarditis of the tricuspid valve following a routine Papanicolaou smear. She required surgical excision of the valve and replacement after failed antibiotic therapy.
