Blood culture grew S. lugdunensis on the day of admission and day 3 of hospitalization, transthoracic echo (TTE) and transesophageal echo (TEE) identified vegetations on the aortic valve (reported to be < 1 cm), and myxomatous thickened mitral valve (possible vegetations) with moderate mitral regurgitation (Figures 1 and 2).
