Infective Endocarditis - Diagnosis and Management Summary
Pearls:
- Consider non-infectious endocarditis in pts with cancer/SLE and - cultures. Embolic phenomenon > valvular destruction
- Classical signs of IE like Roth spots, Janeway lesions, splinter hemorrhages, and Osler nodes are rare manifestations of IE
- IE can mimic vasculitis
