Infective endocarditis causing recurrent cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and septic meningitis: A case report
Febrile patients should be aware of infective endocarditis, particularly if the fever is persistent of unknown origin or structural changes in the heart with neurologic lesions. Cardiogenic neurological diseases are relatively more severe, have a worse prognosis, and have a higher recurrence rate than primary neurological diseases, so early diagnosis and treatment are more urgently needed.
