Abstract
Endocarditis isolated from the pulmonary valve is not that common. It has a clinical appearance of right heart endocarditis, with potential pulmonary septic emboli. We report a case of a 14-years-old girl treated for isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis and pulmonary stenosis in which the destruction of the pulmonary valve required the use of a pulmonary homograft for RVOT reconstruction.
