Tricuspid valve endocarditis (TVE) is rare after non-septic abortion without pelvic inflammation or murmurs. This report details two cases of TVE following elective abortion, highlighting a rare clinical presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology

Background:

  • Tricuspid valve endocarditis (TVE) is a serious infection of the heart valve.
  • TVE is typically associated with risk factors like intravenous drug use or indwelling catheters.
  • TVE following non-septic abortion is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • Two cases of TVE were identified following elective abortion procedures.
  • Neither case presented with evidence of pelvic inflammation.
  • No clinically audible murmurs were detected in either patient prior to diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the occurrence of TVE in the absence of typical preceding symptoms or risk factors.
  • These cases suggest that elective abortion, even when non-septic, can be a potential, albeit rare, trigger for TVE.

  • Diagnostic challenges may arise due to the lack of overt clinical signs.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for TVE in patients presenting with relevant symptoms post-abortion, even without typical indicators.
    • Further research is needed to understand the specific mechanisms and risk factors linking non-septic abortion to TVE.
    • Early recognition and management of TVE are crucial for patient outcomes, regardless of the underlying cause.
