The diagnosis of IE was verified several months after the onset of clinical symptoms (fever, hemorrhagic skin rashes, splenomegaly).The patient suspected hemorrhagic vasculitis and lymphoma of the spleen, which were not confirmed. With transesophageal echocardiography, vegetations on the aortic valve have been identified, and, according to CT, a spleen infarct with suspected abscess. A successful simultaneous operation was performed - aortic valve replacement and splenectomy. An abscess was found in the spleen. The patient is discharged in a satisfactory condition. |
