ABSTRACT
Infective endocarditis is still one of the important fatal diseases especially when it is accompanied with systemic embolic manifestations. So, this is often misdiagnosised because of a variability of systemic embolic manifestations. We experienced a case of infective endocarditis with pulmonic embolic manifestations whose illness was initially diagnosed as recurrent pneumonia. She was a 20-yrs-old girl with ventricular septal defect and treated as community acquired pneumonia. But transesophageal echocardiography revealed a vegetation on right ventricular free wall. So, she was diagnosed as having infective endocarditis and treated effectively with appropriate antibiotic therapy and discharged with improvement of symptoms. This a first case of infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect who have a vegetation on right ventricular free wall in korea. Therefore, we report this case with brief review of related literatures.
