A Rare Case of Successfully Treated Double Valve Infective Endocarditis Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rare yet particularly aggressive infective endocarditis pathogen. We describe a case of successfully managed double-valve P. aeruginosa infective endocarditis, in which the presumed source of bacteremia was a long-term tunneled central venous catheter used for hemodialysi...
