Unusual Presentation of Infective Endocarditis - Case Report
Abstract
A patient who presented for pre –op assessment for the drainage of a splenic abscess, was then evaluated prospectively and retrogradely upon identification of a pansystolic murmur. The patient was later diagnosed as a case of valvular heart disease presenting with a complication of infective endocarditis [splenic abscess]. The medical reports of the patient was evaluated, which revealed an evidence of glomerulonephritis three months back. Here, we present the case report of such a rare presentation of two complications of infective endocarditis in a short duration of time.
