A patient with Björk-Shiley mechanical mitral valve was noted to have Salmonella pros thetic valve endocarditis, which was confirmed by positive blood cultures and vegetation found by transesophageal echocardiography

Up to now, only 5 cases of Salmonella prosthetic valve endocarditis have been reported in the literature. Because of the malignant course of this rare infection, the authors suggest that early surgical intervention should be considered in Salmonella pros thetic valve endocarditis, especially when the patients have recurrent fever during medical treatment.
