Extensive right-sided endocarditis in double-chamber right ventricle presented with leukocytoclastic vasculitis.

ABSTRACT: Congenital heart disease is a risk factor for infective endocarditis (IE). Ventricular septal defects and ventricular outflow tract obstructions are this population's most common causes of endocarditis. We present a patient diagnosed with leukocytoclastic vasculitis, renal, and pulmonary involvement with right-sided IE as an etiology for vasculitis.
