Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Endocarditis as a Sequela of Pneumonia in a Patient without Valvular Abnormalities

Abstract

A 50-year-old woman with underlying end stage renal disease on hemodialysis developed large isolated staphylococcal infective endocarditis over the left ventricular outflow tract when she had pneumonia, without apparent valvular involvement. She subsequently had successful surgery for excision of vegetation.
