Keywords:
Infective endocarditis, clinico-microbiological spectrum, tertiary care centerAbstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by microbial infection of the endocardial surface of the heart. The clinical and microbiological profile of IE can vary across different geographical regions and healthcare settings. This study aimed to investigate the clinico-microbiological spectrum of infective endocarditis in patients from a tertiary care center in Central India.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis between [time period] at [name of the tertiary care center]. Relevant clinical and microbiological data were collected and analyzed. The study assessed demographic characteristics, predisposing factors, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, echocardiographic findings, microbiological isolates, and treatment outcomes.
