    Tuberculous endocarditis is rare but can affect prosthetic valves and shunts. This summary details two cases of this serious infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiovascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Tuberculous endocarditis is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis.
    • It can occur in native or prosthetic heart valves and intracardiac devices.

    Observation:

    • This report describes two patients diagnosed with tuberculous endocarditis.
    • The first patient had the condition develop on a mitral valve prosthesis.
    • The second patient developed tuberculous endocarditis in a thrombus associated with a ventriculo-atrial shunt.

    Findings:

    • Tuberculous endocarditis can occur in patients with prosthetic cardiac material.
    • Infection can develop in thrombus formation on implanted devices like shunts.

    Implications:
