Endocarditis Caused by Presenting With Severe Thrombocytopenia in a Patient With Tetralogy of Fallot.

Infective endocarditis (IE) occurs more frequently in individuals living with congenital heart disease, often with high morbidity and mortality. Although gram-positive bacterial infections commonly cause IE, prosthetic valves are a known risk factor for fungal IE. We report a case of prosthetic pulmonary valve IE in a 58-year-old male with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.

Cytomegalovirus myocarditis in solid organ transplant recipients: A case series and review of literature.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family and is estimated to affect 15%-30% of high-risk solid organ transplant recipients. Typical manifestations of CMV end-organ disease in this population include colitis, esophagitis, and pneumonitis, and myocarditis is a rarely reported manifestation. We describe two cases of CMV myocarditis in solid organ transplant recipients and review the literature regarding previously published cases of CMV myocarditis.
