Infective endocarditis is a disease with high urgency and severity. Common symptoms include fever, loss of
appetite, weight loss, and fatigue; however, they are nonspecific and diverse symptoms are observed. A nine-year-old
female patient with chief complaints of fever and bilateral thigh myalgia that caused difficulty in walking was
referred to our department. She had developed a fever of over 38℃ on the first day of the illness. Difficulty in
walking was experienced on the third day of the illness due to myalgia in the thighs. She was referred to our
department for the purpose of detailed examination and treatment on the fifth day of the illness as the cause remained
unknown and no improvement was observed. After detailed examination at our hospital, the patient was diagnosed
with acute infective myositis and was admitted to our hospital for the purpose of rest and antimicrobial treatment.
After admission, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus was detected in the culture of the blood sample that
had been obtained at the time of presentation to our hospital. Upon searching for the cause of bacteremia, infective
endocarditis was diagnosed by cardiac ultrasonography. In patients who present with fever and myalgia, it is
important to consider infective endocarditis among the differential diagnoses.
