Abstract
Of the four cardiac valves, the pulmonic valve is the least suspected in most pathologies when one thinks of endocarditis, pulmonary valve is hardly considered. We can call it a “forgotten valve”. Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis has less than 100 reported cases [1]. We present a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis in a 27-year-old male with past medical history of IVDA, who presented to the hospital with sudden onset of chest pain and shortness of breath.
