Abstract

Patient with a history of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) on day 10 postoperatively with respiratory distress and functional class decrease in addition to febrile peaks of 38.9 led to an allogeneic transplant of hematopoietic precursors, on physical examination presence of holosystolic murmur in the base, blood cultures with a positive report of S. choleraesuis 4 of 4, a transesophageal echocardiogram was taken showing vegetation filiform in the aortic valve with 12 mm without ejection fraction compromise and hemodynamic compromise, medical management with quinolones for 4 weeks was decided, achieving disappearance of the vegetation and murmur one week after medical treatment and negative blood cultures later.
