title: [Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis].
abstract: We report a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis evaluated with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography in a previous intravenous drug user. Although right-sided infective endocarditis is common in this population, the involvement of the pulmonary valve without infection of the tricuspid valve is a rare condition.
