The QT interval was markedly prolonged (Figure 1).
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed vegetation on the anterior mitral annulus (1.2 * 0.5 cm).

Because of high clinical suspicion, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was done, which revealed vegetation on the anterior mitral annulus (1.2 * 0.5 cm) (Figure 2).
ECG showed bradyarrhythmia, a HR of 48 beats/min, QTc interval prolongation (610 ms), and deep inverted T wave.

An ECG showed bradyarrhythmia, a HR of 48 beats/min, QTc interval prolongation (610 ms), and deep inverted T wave (Figure 3).
QTc was normalized to 390 ms after day 30.

He did not have any recurrence of arrhythmia and QTc was normalized to 390 ms after day 30 of antimicrobial therapy (Figure 4).
Biological course: CRP: C-reactive protein, Creat: creatinine levels.
