Brucella endocarditis is an uncommon focal complication of brucellosis. Presented here are 11 cases of Brucella endocarditis, all managed uniformly. The median duration of symptoms prior to diagnosis was 3 months. Five patients (45%) had underlying valvular damage, and in six (55%) endocarditis involved a normal valve. There was a predominance of aortic involvement (82%) and a high incidence of left ventricular failure (91%). Diagnostic suspicion was essential in order to test blood cultures correctly, which in this series were positive in 63% of the patients. Surgical treatment was undertaken in eight patients (72%), all with aortic involvement and left ventricular failure impossible to control with medication. One patient died during the immediate postoperative period. All the other patients received antibiotic therapy for 3 months, with no signs of relapse of the infection or malfunction of the prosthesis during a minimum follow-up period of 24 months.
