Infective or Non-Infective Endocarditis: A Brief Literature Review Based on a Case Report.

ABSTRACT: In the present report, we describe a patient presenting in the intensive care unit with fever, respiratory failure, and multiple lesions on cardiac valves. The patient, with a history of multiple myeloma under treatment, was intubated due to ARDS from influenza, and cardiac ultrasonography revealed lesions in the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves. There is a step-by-step approach in the case presentation, with clinical questions, while there is a review of the current literature concerning the issue.
