Unraveling a rare presentation of bivalvular infective endocarditis using POCUS

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Infective endocarditis (IE) is rare, and involvement of two valves is rarer yet. We present a case of a 22‐year‐old male with liver failure who was found to have bivalvular IE. This case sheds light on the association between bivalvular IE and seemingly unrelated symptoms, emphasizing the need for early recognition.
