ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 24-year-old female who presented with a history of fever and back pain. She had no particular medical history and was not taking any medication. Transthoracic echocardiology and computed tomography showed a patent ductus arteriosus with vegetation in the pulmonary artery. She was treated with penicillin G;however, the vegetation embolized into the left pulmonary artery. After the antibiotics was changed to clindamycin and ceftriaxone, the resolution of the lung abscess was shown by computed tomography( CT). Two months later, a surgical repair of the patent ductus arteriosus was successfully performed. Patent ductus arteriosus-associated infectious endocarditis is relatively rare in adulthood.
