Isolated pulmonary valve infective endocarditis in isolated congenital supravalvular pulmonary stenosis: a case report
Pulmonary valve infective endocarditis can be difficult to diagnose because of limited sensitivity on transthoracic echocardiography and often underappreciated predisposing factors such as simple congenital heart disease. This case provides a reminder to providers of a rare, life-threatening entity that requires a high index of suspicion to diagnose.
