Right-sided infective endocarditis with pulmonary thromboembolism in a patient with end-stage renal failure
Abstract
Right-sided infective endocarditis is a serious issue to be addressed due to its different forms of presentation and, above all, to the use of greater and better medical procedures that require central venous accesses. Such procedures are important and effective, but constitute a risk factor at the same time; leading to cardiac events with their harmful effects that threaten the patient's life. Bacterial resistance to treatment and their appearance in immunosuppressed patients are factors that worsen prognosis. We report the case of a 28-year-old man with a history of end-stage renal failure presenting right-sided infective endocarditis with pulmonary thromboembolism.
