Transthoracic echocardiography, as first line examination, showed the vegetations on tricuspid valve. In our case, the diagnosis and treatment of right-sided infective endocarditis without any inducement were extremely difficult. Therefore, once a patient comes out with fever, the blood culture remains positive for gram-positive bacterium, and the infectious location still unknown, then the infective endocarditis should be considered. In addition, surgical measure is also an important therapy for right-sided infective endocarditis.展开更多

We report the case of a 29-year-old man presented with fever and diffuse bone pain. Physical examination showed bilateral and symmetrical long bone pain, especially the knees. Radiographs showed multiple mixed bone lesions with sclerotic and lytic areas of the femora, tibiae, and fibula. Biopsy of the tibial area displayed foamy lipid-laden histiocytes, confirming the diagnosis of ECD.展开更多
