ABSTRACT

Brucella endocarditis, which affects less than 2% of the population, is the leading cause of mortality in patients with brucellosis. This case report describes the admission of a seven-year-old girl to the pediatric department of the Queen Alia Center for Heart Disease as a case of brucella endocarditis. Her medical treatment was initiated, and she subsequently underwent surgical intervention in an effort to achieve improvement. The patient continued to exhibit no recurrence following a six-month follow-up period. Long-term monitoring and follow-up care are crucial to safeguarding the health and well-being of patients with this condition.
