ABSTRACT

Quatro crianças, com idade de 5, 1, 16 e 6 anos, três do sexo masculino, apresentaram endocardite isolada da valva tricúspide. Duas foram submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico. Todas exibiam sinais clínicos de sepse, sopro cardíaco e insuficiência cardíaca. Três apresentaram embolia pulmonar. A ecocardiografia demonstrou, em todos, vegetaçöes na valva tricúspide. Dois pacientes, um deles submetido a tratamento cirúrgico, faleceram. A endocardite da valva tricúspide em crianças com sepse, insuficiência cardíaca e embolia pulmonar é uma condiçäo extremamente grave e a indicaçäo cirúrgica precoce pode diminuir sua alta mortalidade


Four children, three males, with ages 5,1, 16 and 6 years, presented with isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis. Two of them weresubmitted to surgical treatment. Sepsis, cardiac murmur and heart failure were present in all of them. Three presented pulmonary embolism. Echocardiography demonstrated vegetation in the tricuspid valve in all cases. Two patients, one of them submitted to surgery, died. Tricuspid valve endocarditis in children with sepsis, heart failure and pulmonary embolism is a severe condition and early surgical treatment may diminished the high mortality
