Abstract
Infectious endocarditis is a rare disease, with a diverse and nonspecific clinical presentation. A variety of microorganisms can cause IE, but bacterias are the most common agents. It has a wide range of presentations, from asymptomatic disease to severe disease that can end in multi-system failure. Its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and is established based on clinical manifestations, blood cultures (or other microbiological data) and echocardiography, which are known as the modified Duke criteria. The choice of antibiotic treatment depends on the causative organism, its susceptibility and risk factors of the patient.
