| Summary: | At present, the problem of infective endocarditis (IE) remains relevant for clinicians of different specialties, including rheumatologists. The distinctive feature of present-day IE is its polyetiological pattern due to a broad spectrum of pathogens. The lecture highlights in detail clinical picture of the disease, laboratory and instrumental findings. It presents current international diagnostic criteria for IE. The obvious clinical polymorphism, subtle symptoms, and monosyndromic onset as masks, all increases the significance of differential diagnosis of IE, in early disease stages in particular. Main approaches to differentiating IE from diseases posing the greatest differentially diagnostic challenges are set forth. |
