title: A case of right-side infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect.
abstract: A 28-year-old woman previously known to have a ventricular septal defect presented with fever, headache, abdominal pain and nausea. Positive blood culture of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and the detection of vegetation attached to the right ventricular wall near the ostium of the ventricular septal defect confirmed diagnosis of infective endocarditis.
