Infective Endocarditis - Diagnosis and Management Summary

Pearls:

 - Consider non-infectious endocarditis in pts with cancer/SLE and - cultures. Embolic phenomenon > valvular destruction

 - Classical signs of IE like Roth spots, Janeway lesions, splinter hemorrhages, and Osler nodes are rare manifestations of IE

 - IE can mimic vasculitis
