Culture-negative bivalvular endocarditis with myocardial destruction in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report

Culture-negative endocarditis has long been associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, but is usually asymptomatic or involves a single valve. We present a patient with destructive culture-negative endocarditis that remains without a microbial etiology despite an exhaustive workup using advanced...
