ABSTRACT
Infective endocarditis (IE) correspond to a serious condition of the endocardium, with clinical and classic risk factors. Heart failure is described as the main complication and cause of mortality. A 58-year-old diabetic female patient, with fever, weight loss and history of 10 months of fatigue, is presented below. She is hospitalized in Hospital Regional de Talca, in Medicine Service, where she is diagnosed of right IE by blood cultures (Streptococcus Sanguis) and transthoracic echocardiogram, that showed vegetations in the tricuspid valve and severe insufficiency. Without clinical improvement despite antibiotic treatment, echocardiography is repeated, showing persistence of vegetations and insufficiency, so that surgical resolution is decided, taking place in Hospital Gustavo Grant Benavente Concepción, with clinical recovery after surgery. It highlights a classic and larval presentation of the disease, but without classic risk factors for right IE, also associated with glomerulonephritis. The antibiotic eliminated bacteremia, but the valve damage was already established.
