title: [Infectious Brucella endocarditis in a case of corrected transposition of the great arteries].
abstract: We describe a case of a 14 year old male who developed infections endocarditis due to Brucella sp. He had a corrected transposition of great vessels with valvular pulmonary stenosis and mitral insufficiency. Vegetations were demonstrated by echocardiogram on the pulmonary valve as well as on left atrioventricular valve. He had also proliferative nephritis. Prolonged antimicrobial treatment results in complete healing. Because the rarity of this association we inform this observation.
