Extensive Salmonella enteritidis Endocarditis Involving Mitral, Tricuspid Valves, Aortic Root and Right Ventricular Wall
Journal of The American Society of Echocardiography, 02/12/09
Mutlu H et al. - Transesophageal echocardiography was instrumental in establishing the diagnosis of endocarditis by documenting vegetations. S. enteritidis endocarditis can cause devastating endovascular infections in immunocompromised patients. Patients who present with multiple vague symptoms with medical histories that include diabetes mellitus, immunocompromise, and prosthetic heart valves should alert clinicians to strongly consider S. enteritidis endocarditis in their differential diagnoses. Despite considerable effort, S. enteritidis endocarditis poses very high risk for morbidity and mortality.
