Abstract
In this case report, a 37-year-old man with a history of lethargy, nocturnal sweats, and fever is diagnosed with an infected myxoma. His fever was 38 degrees. He was on broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment and had inflammatory markers and positive blood cultures. The transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a large mobile mass connected to the atrial septum, even though the mitral valve was unobstructed. He was given antibiotics for two weeks, or until his inflammatory signs returned to normal. A large atrial myxoma was surgically excised from the patient. It was an easy postoperative therapy.
