Alerts clinicians to diagnostic pitfalls in congenital heart disease; leaves open mechanistic insights into endocardial infections for further study.
Bacterial endocarditis is uncommon in congenital heart disease but presents diagnostic difficulties and insights into endocardial infection origins.
Norman E. Clarke (1923) conducted a review in Bacterial endocarditis and congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease was evaluated. Bacterial endocarditis is uncommon in congenital heart disease, despite the presence of damaged valves or altered endocardial surfaces that typically predispose to infection.
