AB The  clinical  presentation  of  endocarditis  is  often  nonspecific  and  variable,  with  potential  to  affect  nearly  every  organ  system  in  an  indolent  or  fulminant  course.  The  vast  majority  of  endocarditis  is  infective;  diagnosis  relies  on  a  set  of  explicit  criteria,  which  include  findings  from  blood  culture,  echocardiography,  and  close  clinical  observation.  Unrecognized  infective  endocarditis  has  frequent  complications  and  high  mortality.
