A 70-year-old man developed fever, weight loss, and malaise post-transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). New heart murmur led to suspected infective endocarditis, highlighting a rare complication.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Urology

Background:

  • A 70-year-old male patient underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
  • Post-TURP, the patient presented with microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, and persistent fever.
  • Initial diagnosis focused on urinary tract infection, but symptoms persisted.

Discussion:

  • The patient self-referred due to lack of improvement, reporting fever, weight loss, and malaise.
  • A new mitral pan-systolic murmur was detected during physician examination.
  • Infective endocarditis was suspected based on the new cardiac finding.

Key Insights:

  • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be complicated by rare conditions.
  • Persistent fever and constitutional symptoms post-TURP warrant thorough investigation beyond urinary infections.

  • New-onset heart murmurs in febrile patients suggest infective endocarditis.

    • Outlook:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering non-urological diagnoses in post-TURP patients with persistent symptoms.
    • Early detection and management of infective endocarditis are crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Further investigation into the link between TURP and infective endocarditis is warranted.
