ABSTRACT
Staphylococcus aureus is a well-known pathogen involved inright-sided endocarditis with predisposing factors, and the clinical course may be acute and rapidly progressive. Intravenous drug abuse, pacemakers or central vascular catheters, and congenital heart diseases are well-known predisposing factors. However, right-sided endocarditis as a result of S. aureus infection is very rare in patients without these predisposing factors. Here, we report the case of a previously healthy 25-year-old male with native tricuspid valve infective endocarditis by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, complicating multiple septic pneumonia and septic pulmonary artery thrombosis. The patient was treated with antibiotics and surgical thromboembolectomy with tricuspid valve repair.
