Right sided infective endocarditis: About 4 cases and review of literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Right-sided infective endocarditis (RSIE) accounts for 5–10% of all cases of infective endocarditis and is predominantly encountered among injecting drug users (IDUs). RSIE diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion as respiratory symptoms predominate. Prognosis of isolated RSIE is favourable, and most cases (70–80%) resolve following antibiotic administration. We report 4 cases of right sided infective endocarditis in non-addicted patients with a literature review.
