[A case of pulmonary infarction secondary to subacute bacterial endocarditis with subpulmonary VSD].
A case of pulmonary infarction secondary to subacute bacterial endocarditis of pulmonary valve which is associated with subpulmonary VSD is presented. The jet stream of blood through the subpulmonary VSD made damage to the pulmonary valve, which may be one of the reasons why subacute bacterial endocarditis was associated with the subpulmonary VSD. Echocardiography of the right-sided valves will be very useful in order to detect the pulmonary valve endocarditis in congenital heart disease presenting with fever.
