Diagnosis of infective endocarditis can be challenging for clinicians, especially when involving prosthetic valves. Recent data suggest that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) could be a useful diagnostic tool in this setting. Here, we report a case of a patient with an aortic biological prosthesis who presented with a history of fever and fatigue. Echocardiograms were negative for vegetations. The 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed an infective process of the valve and serological tests were positive for chronic Coxiella burnetii infection. Specific treatment for chronic Q fever endocarditis was, therefore, started and the response was monitored using 18F-FDG PET/CT. This case highlights the challenges and pitfalls clinicians face when confronted with prosthetic valve endocarditis and the use of 18F-FDG PET/CT for diagnosis and follow-up.
