Abstract

Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis (IPE) is a rare form of infectious endocarditis. This article reports the case of a 49-year-old patient with IPE who was initially admitted with suspected cholecystitis. After vegetations were detected by transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), antibiotic therapy in accordance with the antibiogram was primarily attempted; however, due to persistently elevated infection parameters and structural valve damage a pulmonary valve replacement was eventually performed.

孤立性肺动脉瓣心内膜炎。

孤立性肺动脉瓣心内膜炎（IPE）是一种罕见的感染性心内膜炎。本文报告了一名 49 岁 IPE 患者的病例，该患者最初入院时被怀疑患有胆囊炎。在经胸超声心动图（TTE）和经食道超声心动图（TEE）检测出植物瓣后，主要尝试根据抗生素图谱进行抗生素治疗；然而，由于感染指标持续升高和结构性瓣膜损伤，最终进行了肺动脉瓣置换术。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
