# data[].attributes.body

Often represented by an infection of an intracardiac device or the heart valve, but sometimes characterized by septal defect, infective endocarditis is a microbial infection that results in lesion comprising of inflammatory cells, accumulated platelets, and microorganism-enmeshed fibrin. Infective endocarditis is commonly caused by microbial infection associated with intravenous drug abuse and immunosuppression resulting in lower CD4 counts. A person with HIV has a greater chance of developing infective endocarditis from intravenous drug use.

Infective endocarditis is commonly caused by microbial infection associated with intravenous drug abuse and immunosuppression resulting in lower CD4 counts. A person with HIV has a greater chance of developing infective endocarditis from intravenous drug use.

A rare disorder comprising of about five to 10 percent of all endocarditis cases, right-sided infective endocarditis causes failure of the right side of the heart due to overload of blood volume and pressure mostly due to obstruction of the tricuspid orifice by a vegetative lesion. It can result in cough or chest pain associated with septic embolism of the lungs, as well as fever. A doctor can diagnose the condition with the aid of echocardiography, specifically transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography. In most cases, the infection can be managed with antimicrobial therapy. Sometimes, a patient may require intravenous therapy.
