Zusammenfassung: | Endocarditis is a serious infectious disease of the endocardial surface of the heart, predominantly involving the heart valves, and it results from the colonization and proliferation of microorganisms within the bloodstream. The condition primarily affects individuals with underlying cardiac abnormalities or those who have undergone invasive procedures. Symptoms may include pyrexia, fatigue, arthralgia, and new cardiac murmur. We present a case of a young male patient who had recently undergone surgery and developed eustachian valve endocarditis (EVE), a condition scarcely described in the literature. |
