Streptococcal endocarditis in an infant is rare. We report a case of acute aortic valve endocarditis with abscess and aorta-to-right atrial fistula formation. This 4-month-old infant with a structurally normal heart had been previously well. The child was successfully treated with the Ross procedure and remains well 13 months postoperatively.
