ISSN/ISBN: 0828-282X PMID: 1617513 Document Number: 388405
An unusual case of staphylococcal endocarditis with a vegetation attached to the left ventricular myocardium is described. No valvular vegetations are present. The diagnosis was made by transesophageal echocardiography. The patient had no chronic debilitating disease, nor was she immunosuppressed.
