초록
Pulmonic valve infective endocarditis in isolation is a rare clinical entity. The formation of an abscess in the right ventricularoutflow tract as a consequence of vegetations affecting the pulmonic valve in a structurally normal heart is extremely rare and hasnot been reported. We report a case of isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis complicated by a regional abscess formed within theright ventricular outflow tract caused by Streptococcus Constellatus (S. Constellatus), a member of the Streptococcus Milleri group in ayoung male whose risk factor was alcohol abuse and he was treated medically, a comprehensive literature review on the subject isalso reported. Our case is the first reported in literature with infective endocarditis caused by S. Constellatus affecting thepulmonic valve, and the first with pulmonic valve endocarditis and perivalvular abscess formation in a structurally normal heart.
Abstract
Pulmonic valve infective endocarditis in isolation is a rare clinical entity. The formation of an abscess in the right ventricularoutflow tract as a consequence of vegetations affecting the pulmonic valve in a structurally normal heart is extremely rare and hasnot been reported. We report a case of isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis complicated by a regional abscess formed within theright ventricular outflow tract caused by Streptococcus Constellatus (S. Constellatus), a member of the Streptococcus Milleri group in ayoung male whose risk factor was alcohol abuse and he was treated medically, a comprehensive literature review on the subject isalso reported. Our case is the first reported in literature with infective endocarditis caused by S. Constellatus affecting thepulmonic valve, and the first with pulmonic valve endocarditis and perivalvular abscess formation in a structurally normal heart.
