ABSTRACT

Quardicuspid
aortic valve, an infective endocarditis’s risk factor, has the property inborn
aortic valve disease but disease development not up to enough understood.
Infective endocarditis is together with 1, 4% of the cases. Aortic
regurgitation may be seen together and transesophageal echocardiography is
important for these patients because of diagnosis. Our case, a thirty nine
years old woman, was asymptomatic quardicuspid aortic valve with aort valve
regurgitation and we diagnosed via transesophageal echocardiography. We
recommended antibiotic prophylaxis and annual follow to the patient. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2018; 8(1):30-32
