BMC Infect Dis. 2012;12 (231) Discussion/Conclusion We report a case of infective endocarditis along with severe aortic regurgitation found to have Tuberculosis on histopathology of the vegetations.

Transthoracic echocardiography showed multiple vegetations on the anterior mitral leaflet, a 16 x 6 mm mobile vegetation on the surface of the aortic noncoronary cusp, and a small (<10 mm ...

Echocardiography helps detect vegetation and assess the range of vascular damage and the hemodynamic abnormalities in endocarditis. It also helps detect the probability of complications.

A thickened pericardium, a bicuspid aortic valve with large vegetations on both leaflets and a large perforation in the anterior leaflet were found. A No. 14 Starr–Edwards prosthesis was inserted.

The vegetation on the tricuspid valve was removed. A 5 × 5 mm fistula, located 20 mm above the aortic root, was noted and repaired with a pericardial patch.
