Abstract
Objective:To study the clinical character of infective endocarditis (IE) and the diagnostic value of echocardiography to IE.Methods:The clinical and echocardiographic information of 78 patients was analysed.Results:Basic heart diseases in 66 patients (84.6%) and vegetations in 51 patients (65.4%) were found.A total of 65 blood bacterial culture studies were porformed,and positive only in 16 cases (24.6%).The incidence of fever,enlarged spleen,embolism and death was 83.8%,52.6%,19.2% and 9.0% respectively.Conclusion:The decrease of positive blood culture and lack of typical symptoms make it diffcult to diagnose IE and then delay treatment.Echocardiography can provide etiological and pathological diagnose for IE.As a valuable tool,it can also assess the complications and prognosis.
