Abstract :
Simultaneous tricuspid and aortic valve endocarditis can occur, although rarely, in patients without any predisposing factors for endocarditis and without the presence of an aortic sinus rupture, most probably via the presence of bacteremia for a prolonged period, like the patient presented in this case report who had suffered from a recurrent fever for several weeks which had not been investigated nor treated till the person was admitted to the hospital with both pulmonary and systemic septic emboli.
