A case of pseudomonas endocarditis of biliary origin with impairment of the mitral and tricuspid heart valves is reported. Former history of the patient did not reveal narcotic addiction or previous open-heart surgery. Osteomyelitis is an uncommon complication of pseudomonas endocarditis. Echocardiography was a useful diagnostic method in the present case, showing the vegetation on the tricuspid valve. The poor prognosis of cases with left valvular heart disease which are resistant to medical treatment is emphasized. Differential count of the colonies did not localize the affected heart valve in this case.
