A 13-year-old boy with a small ventricular septal defect was admitted with clinical manifestations of acute endocarditis. Coagulase-positive staphylococci were isolated from the blood. Definitive diagnosis was made by detecting bacterial vegetations in the right ventricle on the echocardiogram. Repeated embolization of these vegetations to the pulmonary circulation led to the death of the patient.
