Abstract
We report two cases of tricuspid valve endocarditis with related organ isms (Enterococcus faecalis and Gemella morbillorum), some months afte r colonic operation. This association, without preexistent valvular pa thology and without any other classical aetiology of tricuspid endocar ditis, has only exceptionally been described.
