Abstract
- The article reports on the case of a 27-year-old female drug user who was admitted with fever, chills, and sharp chest pain. Her medical history was significant for treating Staphylococcal tricuspid valve endocarditis. Meanwhile, chest-computed tomography revealed multiple nodules, a cavitary lesion, and cutoff of the left lower pulmonary artery consistent with septic emboli. Moreover, the case highlighted an uncommon location for endocarditis and the organism Actinomyces israelii.
