Infective endocarditis mimicking antineutrophil-cytoplasmic-antibody-associated vasculitis with glomerulonephritis: a case report
Our findings emphasize the need to rule out infective endocarditis in patients with suspected antineutrophil-cytoplasmic-antibody-associated vasculitis, as it can be the same, and management relies on different lines of therapy. Immunosuppression therapy can lead to devastating effects in patients with infective endocarditis.
