JMJustin C. MusteThomas Jefferson University JPJose S PulidoThomas Jefferson University DFDavid FellThomas Jefferson University

Key Points

This research aims to highlight a unique embolic mechanism tied to neutrophil extracellular traps in endocarditis.
Case report detailing the patient with foveal micro-embolism.
Review of existing literature on related embolic phenomena.
Analysis of neutrophil extracellular traps' role in the condition.
Identification of a distinct embolic mechanism in the patient.
Enhanced understanding of embolic phenomena associated with endocarditis.
Potential implications for recognizing new pathways in infectious diseases.

Abstract

We propose this case represents a distinct embolic mechanism mediated by neutrophil extracellular traps. Recognition of this mechanism may help expand our understanding of the spectrum of embolic phenomena in endocarditis.
