Isolated pulmonary native valve infectious endocarditis due to Enterococcus faecalis.
We report a case of isolated pulmonary native valve infectious endocarditis due to Enterococcus faecalis in a patient without predisposing factors. The early diagnostic suspicion plays a pivotal role in this entity. An individual clinical and echocardiographic management is mandatory in these patients.
