A Case of Infective Endocarditis and Pulmonary Septic Embolism in A 10-Year-Old Boy

Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon infection of the cardiac endothelium. IE includes both acute bacterial endocarditis and sub-acute bacterial endocarditis (SBE). IE is an old problem in a new cover. Infective  endocarditis  (IE)  in  children  can  result  in  significant  morbidity  and  mortality.  A  severe complication of infective endocarditis (IE) is organ embolization such as septic pulmonary embolism (SPE). The aim of this paper is to report an EI case in a 10-years boy with fatal outcome due to septic pulmonary embolism
