摘要：An 85-year-old female with history of dementia presented with concern for severe sepsis and was found to have methicillin sensitive staphylococcus aureus bacteremia complicated by atrial fibrillation.For further workup,a transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) was obtained.The study revealed a large echogenic density with multiple echolucent areas within the finding.There was evidence of blood flow in these echolucent areas based on color flow imaging.This mass was intermittently protruding into the left ventricle causing a function mitral stenosis.The collective findings on echocardiography,in context of bacteremia,were highly suggestive of mitral valve abscess (Figure 1).
