Rates of bacteremia following TURP can be as low as 1% when antimicrobial prophylaxis is given. Patients can develop many common sequelae as a result of bacteremia secondary to TURP including bacteriuria and urinary tract infection; however, more serious complications such as endocarditis are quite rare (~1 in 4200 cases). Here we present a case of a 67 year-old-male with BPH who underwent two TURP procedures; both with appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis who was subsequently diagnosed with endocarditis http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmcr/8/10/14/ajmcr-8-10-14.pdf Endocarditis TURP BPH infective endocarditis
