Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a significant cause of mortality worldwide and reported cases are continuing to increase annually. We describe a case of a patient who would undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement complicated by postop gastrointestinal bleeding requiring partial colectomy with ileocolic anastomosis who would later present with fever, dyspnea, and persistently positive blood cultures who would be found to have tricuspid valve endocarditis from and species that was successfully treated with a combination of surgical resection and antimicrobial therapy.

- Long COVID is a long-term condition that includes symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and cognitive issues that can continue or come back after recovering from COVID-19.
- A study surveyed patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 to understand the symptoms and identify risk factors that may contribute to Long COVID, revealing associations with being female, prior hospitalization, and poor health before infection.
- The study identified five symptom clusters (GI, MSK, NC, AW, and CP) and found that younger age was linked to mental health issues like anxiety, while older age and mixed race were related to more musculoskeletal symptoms; these findings can help clinicians manage patients with Long COVID better.
