Abstract

We describe the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of cardiac failure, and was found on clinical examination to have a purpuric rash over her lower extremities. Further evaluation of cardiac failure revealed tricuspid regurgitation with two large tricuspid valve vegetations. Blood cultures yielded a growth of Streptococcus viridans. She was treated with an intravenous ceftriaxone and gentamicin and made a complete recovery with resolution of the rash.
