Unusual Presentation of Infective Endocarditis Following a Prostatic Urethral Lift

Infective endocarditis is a serious inflammation of the inner lining of the heart. It is caused by pathogens entering the bloodstream and infecting the endocardium. We demonstrate a unique presentation of infective endocarditis following a prostatic urethral lift. The low index of suspicion and atypical symptoms prevented early diagnosis of the disease, leading to life-threatening complications and valve replacement surgery. Understanding unusual presentations of infective endocarditis can increase the index of suspicion in outpatient settings, leading to early diagnosis and preventing fatal complications.
