摘　　要：The present study reports a case of a young patient who presented for 3 months dyspnea, edema of lower limbs, fever and important weight loss. She evolved with acute fever, hematemesis and focal seizures. An echocardiogram was performed demonstrating file presence of interventricular, interatrial, and extensive echogenic imaging and of poorly defined borders throughout the septal cusp of the tricuspid valve, suggestive of vegetation, chest tomography that observed several foci of pulmonary abscess and blood culture evidencing the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. She was treated with Vancomycin, Meropenem and Amphotericin, along with clinical support. She underwent surgery to exchange the tricuspid valve for a biological prosthesis, evolving with clinical improvement and receiving discharge from hospital.
