[A case of tricuspid valve infective endocarditis presenting with multiple nodular shadows in both lungs without known predisposing factors].
A 56-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with fever, cough, and sputum production. Her chest radiograph and chest computed tomography showed multiple nodules. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis and an increased C-reactive protein concentration. Physical examination revealed a systolic murmur. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a 1.5-cm area of vegetation on the tricuspid valve. Blood cultures grew Staphylococcus aureus. Tricuspid valve endocarditis and septic pulmonary embolism were diagnosed. She was treated successfully with intravenous ampicillin/sulbactam. This was a rare case of tricuspid valve infective endocarditis in an adult patient without known predisposing factors.
