The pulmonary computed tomography (CT) scan showed cardiomegaly with bilateral central and peripheral ground-glass lesions (Figure 1). Echocardiography showed a vegetation in the aortic valve, with significant aortic regurgitation and a detergent abscess at the aortic root (Figure 1), with a small residual ventricular septal defect.
