Editorial
This commentary discusses the incidence and common pathogens associated with native infective endocarditis in aortic valve diseases.
Native infective endocarditis (IE) is not a rare complication of aortic valve diseases. Its incidence is estimated at 3 to 10 cases per 100,000 persons per year. It is more often caused by Streptococcus viridans and Staphylococcus aureus, but other agents, including fungi, are also frequently involved.
