| description | Infective endocarditis is a deadly disease that can present as a myriad of symptoms and thus its diagnosis can be missed. We present a case of infective endocarditis presenting as endogenous endophthalmitis and a ruptured mycotic aneurysm. This case illustrates both the complexity of infective endocarditis as a disease process and the more subtle diagnostic criteria as outlined by the Modified Duke Criteria. |
