Résumé
A 75-year-old male, with a past medical history of chronic kidney disease stage 3 (CKD3) and a recent diagnosis of bilateral hydronephrosis and Foley catheter placement, presented to the emergency department for fever. Blood cultures grew Aerococcus urinae. Transthoracic echo (TTE) demonstrated thickened aortic valve leaflets with perforation, multiple echo densities, and severe aortic regurgitation. The patient developed decompensated congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock. En route to surgery for emergent aortic valve replacement, the patient lost pulse and was resuscitated. The patient was subsequently transferred to the ICU where the family decided to initiate comfort care measures. This case highlights the importance and necessity of the prompt diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis and makes the reader aware of uncommon and rare organisms, such as Aerococcus urinae, as potential etiologies.
