Abstract:

We report the case of a 24-year-old female patient presenting with severe aortic regurgitation due to a bicuspid aortic valve, in the context of suspected infective endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis, associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia and moderate-to-severe microcytic hypochromic anemia. A multidisciplinary management strategy, including targeted antibiotic therapy, corticosteroids, and cardiac surgery performed under normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, led to a favorable outcome. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by this rare combination, in light of current literature.
