There has been 5 cases reported worldwide of isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis in a patient with VSD and none in the Philippines . This is a case of an isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis in a patient with VSD, which was echocardiographically documented and monitored and initially treated medically. The case also demonstrates the importance of echo in IE management.<br/>Objectives<br/>This presentation describes a case of an isolated involvement of the pulmonic valve in infective endocarditis in a patient with (VSD), which was echocardiographically documented and monitored, and initially treated medically.
