Abstract:
Infective endocarditis, a fatal infection with rising morbidity and mortality rates among infants and children, is characterized by microbial infection within the endocardium, the inner lining of the heart including heart valves. The heightened susceptibility to infection in children is attributed to pre-existing pathologies, structural defects, and comorbidities. This report details a case of a one-year-old child with tetralogy of Fallot, showcasing isolated pulmonary valve vegetations as a distinctive manifestation of infective endocarditis.
