Abstract
The presentation of infective endocarditis (IE) in pregnancy is mild, often with a life-threatening consequence. Usually the patient cannot be satisfactorily treated by antibiotics but needs surgery to remove the vegetation. We present a case of pregnant woman with IE who was successfully treated by antibiotics, cesarean and cardiothoracic surgery. In conclusion, IE in pregnancy can be cured by comprehensive treatments.
