title: Isolated native Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis Presenting as PUO in a Young Adult Male Without Any Risk Factors.
abstract: A 28-year-old male presented to our hospital with high-grade fever and weight loss for 4 months. Clinical examination was non-contributory and there was no history of any high-risk behavior or prolonged skin or dental infections. Native tricuspid-valve endocarditis may rarely present in these settings and high index of suspicion is essential for early diagnosis.
