ABSTRACT
As higher mortality rate and frequent incidence of morbidity, early surgical treatment is generally recommended for the multivalvular endocarditis. A 46-year-old female presented with high fever. Echocardiography showed the vegetation on pulmonic valve, tricuspid valve and mitral valve with a ventricular septal defect. Emergency operation was conducted due to uncontrolled infection. We present a clinical success of this rare case with review of the medical literature.
