ABSTRACT
We present a case of a febrile patient in his 70s who was found to have isolated native pulmonary valve vegetations on echocardiography, and Enterococcus faecalis on blood cultures. Of note, our patient had none of the typical risk factors associated with this rare form of endocarditis previously described in only a handful of case reports.
