A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for detailed examination of fever, cough and yellow sputum. At the age of 32, be had mitral prosthesis for the first time, because of mitral regurgitation due to mitral valve prolapse. Four years previously, he had again undergone mitral prosthetic valve replacement due to prosthetic valve endocarditis due to staphylococcus epidemidis. This occasion, staphylococcus aureus was isolated by arterial blood culture. Transesophageal echocardiography detected vegetation attached to the mitral prosthetic valve and paravalvular leakage. The diagnosis was prosthetic valve endocarditis. He underwent a third mitral prosthetic valve replacement. Detection of the source of infection was difficult only by transthoracic echocardiography, and immediate transesophageal echocardiography seemed mandatory to diagnose bacterial endocarditis.

D008945 Mitral Valve Prolapse Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA.
