In less than 4 per cent of cases,1usually when the disease occurs in childhood, vegetations may be present only within the right chambers of the heart on such sites as the tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, interventricular septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus. It has been rather striking that the most common heart anomaly, the persistently patent foramen ovale, has only once been previously described as the site of bacterial endocarditis.2The following patient presented the clinical features of right sided subacute bacterial endocarditis. A postmortem blood culture...Bibliography1. Barker PS: A clinical study of subacute bacterial infection confined to the right side of the heart or the pulmonary artery, Am. Heart J. 37: 1054, 1949.
