Abstract

Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) remains an important predisposing lesion for infective endocarditis (IE)
in developing countries. IE due to Salmonella typhi is rare but associated with potentially morbid

of IE was confirmed on the basis of Duke’s clinical criteria. She responded to ciprofloxacin and gentamicin.
