Bacteriology of Infective Endocarditis

Infective endocarditis is life-threatening and urgent treatment is needed. We review here 6,217 patients with infective endocarditis admitted to Siriraj Hospital during a 20 year period, 19822001. In this retrospective study, we obtained our data from hemoculture results. Bacterial pathogens were found in only 834 patients (13.41%).
