    Subacute bacterial endocarditis during pregnancy is rare but dangerous. Prompt intervention, including cesarean delivery and valve replacement, led to successful outcomes with no maternal or fetal deaths.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Obstetrics
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Bacterial endocarditis in pregnancy presents unique challenges due to maternal and fetal risks.
    • Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) can lead to severe valvular damage and systemic complications.

    Observation:

    • A pregnant patient presented with SBE, severe aortic and mitral valvular insufficiency, and multiple systemic and cerebral emboli.
    • The condition necessitated urgent management to address both maternal and fetal well-being.

    Findings:

    • Cesarean section was performed at 33 weeks' gestation.
    • Subsequent aortic and mitral valve replacement was successfully completed.
    • The therapeutic approach resulted in no maternal or fetal mortality.
