BACKGROUND A 26-year-old man with known but untreated ventricular septal defect was admitted to the emergency ward with abdominal pain, fever and weight loss. Transthoracic echocardiography showed multiple vegetations on the anterior mitral leaflet, a mobile vegetation on the surface of the aortic noncoronary cusp and another on the tricuspid valve. His blood cultures grew Streptococcus sanguis with a penicillin minimum inhibitory concentration of 3 microg/ml. METHODS Physical examination, echocardiography, blood cultures, minimal inhibitory concentration detection. METHODS Multivalvular infective endocarditis caused by S. sanguis with a high penicillin resistance. RESULTS A combination of intravenous vancomycin and gentamicin, followed by early surgery.

D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
