Article Abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) complicating pregnancy though rare is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcome. Due to its rarity and varied presentation, literature on IE complicating pregnancy is sparse. We report a case of IE complicating pregnancy caused by methicillin-resistant (MRSA) in a healthy pregnant lady without any known risk factors. This is the first documented case of IE complicating pregnancy without any underlying risk factors from the Indian subcontinent. This article also briefly outlines the current recommendation regarding management of infective endocarditis caused by MRSA.
