[2 cases of isolated tricuspid endocarditis following colonic intervention].
We report two cases of tricuspid valve endocarditis with related organisms (Enterococcus faecalis and Gemella morbillorum), some months after colonic operation. This association, without preexistent valvular pathology and without any other classical aetiology of tricuspid endocarditis, has only exceptionally been described.
