    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Obstetrics & Gynecology

    Background:

    • Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a serious complication of cardiac valve replacement surgery.
    • Infective endocarditis during pregnancy presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Streptococcus viridans is a common causative agent of infective endocarditis.

    Observation:

    • A pregnant patient in her third trimester developed PVE due to Streptococcus viridans.
    • The patient successfully delivered a healthy infant via uncomplicated vaginal delivery during her illness.
    • Postpartum vaginal bleeding was a recurrent complication.

    Findings:

    • Successful management of PVE in pregnancy is possible with appropriate antimicrobial therapy and monitoring.
    • Pregnancy can be carried to term and delivery achieved despite active PVE.
    • Postpartum complications, such as bleeding, require careful management.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of PVE in pregnant patients.
    • It underscores the need for vigilance regarding potential postpartum complications.
    • The findings contribute to the limited literature on managing PVE during pregnancy, informing clinical practice.
