dc.description.abstractIn patients of infective endocarditis, aortic valve is most commonly involved followed by the mitral valve. Pulmonary and tricuspid valves are the least involved valves. Multiple valves can also be involved and are seen in 17-22% cases.[1] Right sided infective endocarditis is seen in approximately 10% of the total cases.[2] Isolated tricuspid valve prevalence has been reported in the range of 2.5–3.1 % and isolated pulmonary valve involvement has been reported to be 2%.[3,4] Tricuspid valve (TV) endocarditis commonly occurs in intravenous drug users (IVDU) or any abnormality of the TV. The other causes could be, patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD), central venous catheter or right sided cardiac anomalies.[5] We report a case of a previously healthy young woman, who was neither an intravenous (IV) drug user nor had any congenital heart disease, who developed TV endocarditis after an induced abortion. This case exemplifies the need for strong suspicion for right-sided IE in patients presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) or cardiorespiratory symptoms after gynaecological interventions.en_US
