Infective Endocarditis-Induced Lung Injury Mimicking Acute Vanishing Lung Syndrome

Infective endocarditis is the infection of the endocardial surface of the heart valve. The right-sided endocarditis can be complicated by pulmonary injury. The pulmonary complications of infective endocarditis include pulmonary embolism, empyema, pleural effusion, lung abscess, and, in rare cases, p...

description Infective endocarditis is the infection of the endocardial surface of the heart valve. The right-sided endocarditis can be complicated by pulmonary injury. The pulmonary complications of infective endocarditis include pulmonary embolism, empyema, pleural effusion, lung abscess, and, in rare cases, pneumothorax. We present a case of bilateral pneumatoceles mimicking vanishing lung syndrome, a very rare pulmonary complication of right-sided infective endocarditis.
