Mycotic Aneurysms and Recurrent Intracranial Hemorrhages in a Patient With Infective Endocarditis

The increase in the use of IV drugs has been accompanied by an increase in the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE). The clinical picture, vitals, examination, blood cultures, laboratory tests, and imaging can help diagnose IE. The Duke criteria also play a role in the diagnosis of IE. Prolonged...

description The increase in the use of IV drugs has been accompanied by an increase in the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE). The clinical picture, vitals, examination, blood cultures, laboratory tests, and imaging can help diagnose IE. The Duke criteria also play a role in the diagnosis of IE. Prolonged antibiotic use and even interventions may be needed in the management of specific cases. Rare complications such as mycotic aneurysms and intracranial hemorrhages can be fatal and must be promptly addressed to prevent loss of life and serve debilitation in these patients.
