Abstract

 A 70-year-old obese retired patient with an extensive list of underlying medical conditions, including ischemic heart disease with coronary artery bypass grafting in 1999, hypertension, chronic renal failure, and atrial fibrillation was admitted to hospital in August 2008. He was diagnosed with subcutaneous abscess in the infraclavicular region of the right shoulder plus the left hallux metatarsophalangeal gout with secondary infection. He had a raised C-reactive protein (CRP) at 450 and was septic with positive blood culture for Staphylococcus aureus on admission. He underwent arthroscopic washout of the shoulder plus drainage of the foot abscess. He was commenced on antibiotics with a good initial response. However, he started spiking temperature with a raised CRP again. As transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) could not rule out infective endocarditis, he underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), which showed a few indistinct echoes on the left ventricular side of the posterior mitral valve leaflet. Hence, he was treated for infective endocarditis with Teicoplanin and Clindamycin. He was discharged after the completion of his antibiotic treatment.
