- Abstract
We describe a case of an infective right atrial thrombus, following total parenteral nutrition, in a 21-year-old woman undergoing a surgical procedure for long-standing chronic ulcerative colitis. She presented with high temperature and the illness did not respond to antibiotic therapy. A 2-dimensional echo cardiogram showed a mobile right atrial mass that at surgery was identified as a thrombus. Thrombus cultures grew coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus.
