This case study details Salmonella prosthetic valve endocarditis, a rare complication following Salmonella gastroenteritis. It highlights the fifth reported instance, emphasizing the need for awareness in clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Salmonella prosthetic valve endocarditis (SPVE) is a rare but serious complication.
  • Previous literature documents only four cases of SPVE.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman developed tricuspid valve endocarditis post-Salmonella gastroenteritis.
  • This represents the fifth reported case of SPVE.

Findings:

  • The case confirms Salmonella as a causative agent for prosthetic valve endocarditis.
  • Review of prior cases provides insights into clinical presentation and outcomes.

Implications:

  • Increased clinical vigilance for SPVE following Salmonella infections is warranted.
  • Further research may elucidate risk factors and optimal management strategies for SPVE.
