Abstract
Infective endocarditis is an infection commonly caused by bacterial pathogens and is known to affect intracardiac structures. We herein report a previously healthy man who presented with complications of infective endocarditis caused by Enterococcal faecalis and was further managed with appropriate antibiotics without the needed surgical interventions.
期刊介绍:
Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
