A Case of Infective Endocarditis on Patent Ductus Arteriosus
|
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Infective endocarditis is an infection which produces vegetations on the endocardium. A heart valve is usually involved, but infection may be on a septal defect or mural endocardium. Infection of arteriovenous shunt or coarctation of the aorta is
more
properly called endarteritis. The association between congenital hear disease (CHD) and endocarditis was firmly established. Ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus (PDN, and tetralogy of Fallot have been be most common underlying
lesions.
We experienced a case of infective endocarditis on PDA with multiple vegetations of mitral mitral valve and main pulmonary artery. The vegetations were detected by echocardiography and gradually reduced in size after antibiotics were given. PDA
was
corrected by surgical ligation after medical treatment.
