Abstract
Resumo: Os autores apresentam um caso de endocardite infecciosa (EI) recidivante da válvula tricúspide num doente sem hábitos toxicofílicos endovenosos. Esta entidade, embora mais prevalente nos doentes utilizadores de drogas endovenosas, pode ocorrer em indivíduos sem estes hábitos. A recorrência do processo infeccioso nesta localização, num doente sem aparentes fatores de risco, alertou para a possibilidade de haver uma cardiopatia congénita não conhecida, que se veio a confirmar. Abstract: A case of tricuspid valve infective endocarditis is presented. Since this was not the first episode, the patient had not undergone invasive procedures and there was no history of intravenous drug abuse, the possibility of congenital heart disease was considered, a hypothesis that was confirmed. Palavras-chave: Endocardite infecciosa, Válvula tricúspide, Malformação congénita, Keywords: Infective endocarditis, Tricuspid valve, Congenital heart disease
