title: [Two cases of miliary tuberculosis following prosthetic valve replacement].
abstract: Pyrexia which occurs at late stage after prosthetic heart valve replacement must be suspected to be caused by prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). However, since confirmatory diagnosis is difficult, we are concerned about the treatment for so many cases. We encountered two cases who were suspected PVE at late stage after prosthetic aortic valve replacement and diagnosed miliary tuberculosis at autopsy. Here, we present a report of the two cases.
