Abstract

Although #infective is a relatively rare infectious disease it remains a potentially lethal disease with a high morbidity and mortality rate despite medical and surgical advances. Furthermore, the best treatment and timing are often debate. We present the case of a young man with drug addiction and hepatitis B and C, who clinically presented with acute fever, #dyspnea, severe anemia and #hemoptysis. Acute tricuspid and aortic valve endocarditis by S. Aureus was clinically and #echocardiography diagnosed and an early surgical treatment by aortic and tricuspid valve replacement by BioAorticTM and BioMitralTM prosthesis was successfully chosen.Even if Infective endocarditis (IE) is relatively rare with an annual increasing incidence ranging from 10 to 15 per 100 000 person-years, it carries a high rate of morbidity and mortality [1]. Medical treatment and targeted antibiotic therapy are the first line treatment and should begin as soon as possible. Usually isolated rightside heart IE (RSE) have better outcomes compared to left (LSE) or right and left sides infection (RLSE) [2] and even if the #antibiotic therapy should be completed, in some cases, like huge vegetations or persistent infection with high fever or uncontrolled systemic #compromission, early surgery is recommended to prevent life-threatening complications [3].
