| Core Tip |
We report an atypical case in a 9-mo-old infant without congenital heart disease. Laboratory tests and electrocardiograms suggested a diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE). After being treated with antibiotic drugs, the patient got a short recovery. Continuous echocardiographic examinations since admission revealed aortic valve abscess with perforation, regurgitation, vegetation, and effusion. Aortic valve repair was performed by using autologous pericardial patch plasty. No postoperative complications occurred and the patient was healthily discharged after 4 wk of treatment. Our case demonstrated the necessity of serial echocardiography monitoring in pediatric patients for possible adverse symptoms of IE. |
