초록	Although advances in immunosuppressive therapy have led to increased survival of kidney transplant recipients, suppression of immune system after transplantation can lead to infectious complications. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains an important complication following kidney transplantation. Infective endocarditis is a rare but life threatening infection after renal transplantation. Coinfection of CMV and infective endocarditis has not been reported in Korea and very rare in worldwide. Here we report a case of infective endocarditis which developed in a patient with CMV infection after kidney transplantation. A 48-year-old man who received a kidney transplantation presented with chest discomfort and weight loss. We performed transthoracic echocardiography for evaluation of heart and it revealed prolapse of anterior mitral valve leaflet with chordae rupture. He showed evidences of CMV infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. We treated with ganciclovir and performed open heart surgery. There are vegetations on anterior mitral valve leaflet with severe inflammation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of infective endocarditis coinfected with CMV in Korea.
