English abstract
Native valve infective endocarditis during pregnancy or the peripartum period is a rare entity with significant morbidity and mortality. Rheumatic heart disease was previously considered a significant risk factor, changing to intravenous drug abuse in recent decades. We hereby report a case of tricuspid native valve endocarditis complicating the peri partum period in a young female without underlying traditional risk factors, who improved with medical therapy alone.
