Abstract:
Infective endocarditis (IE) is uncommon but a very serious infection during pregnancy. In most cases, the disease tends to run a subacute course and involves the mitral valve. We present the case of a 25-year old pregnant female who developed shortness of breath and fever 2 weeks prior to parturition. The symptoms did not subside after her delivery, which was carried out via c-section. Based on vegetations attached to aortic valve cusps and positive blood culture for staphylococcus Aureus, the diagnosis of infective endocarditis was made.
