Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic granulomatous disease, ranking as the second cause of death by infectious agents in 2021. Tuberculosis affects millions worldwide, with valvular TB being a rare manifestation, accounting for less than 1% of extrapulmonary TB cases. Valvular TB is often diagnosed through imaging and laboratory evaluations, and the treatment involves prolonged antibiotic therapy and might require surgical intervention for damaged cardiac valves. Conclusions: In suspected cardiac TB patients with a high risk of surgery or patients reluctant to undergo an operation, quadruple chemotherapy can serve as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.
