An Experience in Management of Bacterial Infective Endocarditis in Paediatrics

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a microbial infection of the endocardium whose incidence and mortality have not decreased in the last 30 years. Its incidence in children is 0.43 per 100,000. We present this case report with the aim to deepening the knowledge and management of the most frequent clinical-epidemiological variables in the child population with episodes of IE, as well as motivating reflection on the measures and interventions that contribute to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this disease in children.
