Polymicrobial infective endocarditis in the setting of intravenous drug use

2023-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> The pathogenesis of infective endocarditis (IE) involves the interaction of microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi with the endothelial lining of heart valves.

In patients with a history of intravenous drug use (IVDU), a leaflet of...
