Abstract

We report a case of Brucella aortic valve endocarditis in a 36 year-old patient with no underlying heart disease who required urgent surgery. In the postoperative follow-up, he suffered from congestive heart failure due to an anterior mitral valve rupture. In the echocardiogram, a periprosthetic abscess was seen and a second intervention was necessary. This report suggests that treating Brucella endocarditis requires a combined medical and surgical approach.

Abstract

We report a case of an aortic endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecium in a 34 year old patient diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. A Doppler echocardiogram showed an anterior mitral valve leaflet aneurysm, which made surgery necessary. Mitral valve leaflet aneurysm is a rare, though well-known complication of aortic valve endocarditis which can eventually perforate.

3. [Acute pericarditis as the initial manifestation in Still's disease in an adult].

Abstract

Almost 90% of primary acute pericarditis are idiopathic. Between specifics forms, a very low percentage of cases are due to chronic rheumatic diseases. A case of adult Still's disease (juvenile chronic rheumatoid arthritis) with acute pericarditis being the first clinical manifestation (besides fever and general syndrome) is presented. Therapy with oral prednisone was rapidly effective, and pericardial effusion resolved after 3 weeks of treatment, as echocardiography showed.
