Abstract:
Infective endocarditis requiring mitral valve replacement during pregnancy is a rare event. We present a case of infective endocarditis of the mitral valve during second trimester and report maternal and perinatal outcomes. Prompt identification and interdisciplinary treatment is crucial; maternal and fetal follow-up including serial fetal neurosonography is recommended.
