ABSTRACT
We report the case of an aortic and pulmonary infective endocarditis in a 25-year-old patient originating from Guinea Conakry. The patient did not have any particular cardiovascular antecedent. He is allowed in a table of total heart failure and fever. The transthoracic echocardiography found vegetations on the level of sigmoid aortic and pulmonary ones. A probabilistic bi-antibiotherapy was instituted while waiting for the results of hemocultures. The patient was apyretic after one week, with regression of inflammatory biological syndrome. However, he was deceased after 20 days in a table of heart failure. The necropsy found vegetations on the level of sigmoid aortic and pulmonary ones, which were perforated, a right lung oedema and a cardiac liver.
