In this paper, we report a female with nontyphoid complicated perivalvular abscess. We also review summarize other cases in the English literature. Methods Using key words " ", "infective endocarditis", "mural endocarditis" to search PubMed database, reviewed case reports on published between 1976 2014 series of infective included at least 500 cases. Results species were rare pathogens. Among 16 large series, they accounted for less than 0.01% up 2.9% bacterial From 2014, total 87 typhoid reported, which 42 1976–1984, 30 1986–2002, 15 2003–2014. Men predominated among (58.6%), mean age was approximately 50–60 years. The major affected valves mitral (33.3%). Mural common (26.4%). Perivalvular abscess only 10.5% (6 cases) 57 overall mortality rate 42.5% decreased over time from 69.0% 13.3% during three study periods. Conclusion endocarditis, although rare, may cause purulent infections area or myocardium lead substantial mortality.
