[Brucella infective endocarditis on sclerodermic mitral valve. Report of a case].
We report the case of a 67 years old woman diagnosed of CREST syndrome (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, telangiectasias) variant of generalized scleroderma, that suffered a Brucella endocarditis on mitral valve affected by the primary disease. We examine the cardiac lesions in progressive systemic sclerosis, pointing up the rare involvement of the valves, together with the evolution and treatment of Brucella endocarditis, uncommon entity.
