title: Right ventricular mural infective endocarditis in a patient with burns.
abstract: An individual who had sustained 43% burns and then developed blood culture negative right ventricular infective endocarditis and right basal segmental pulmonary infarction is reported. Echocardiography detected vegetations in the mid right ventricle. The patient had a central venous catheter in situ during the initial stage of management of burns. Following therapy, he recovered uneventfully from his extremely toxic and febrile state.
