Infective Endocarditis is a formidable cardiac infection, typically stemming from skin injuries or the oral cavity. The disease presents a wide array of manifestations, which may encompass symptoms such as fever, wheezing, heart murmurs, the emergence of new spots on the hands and feet, and even strokes. This condition is notably severe, carrying a high mortality rate. In some instances, surgical intervention becomes necessary. The complexity of the surgery hinges on the extent of the infection, occasionally necessitating intricate reconstructive procedures. Following surgery, to avert a recurrence of the infection, it’s imperative to maintain excellent oral hygiene and skin health. Adhering to your doctor’s guidance is key to ensuring optimal treatment outcomes.
