PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Infective endocarditis (IE) is a microbial infection of the endocardium. It is serious and life-threatening, with an increasing incidence in children. Over past few decades, the epidemiology of IE has changed due to increased survival of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Concurrently, a growing proportion of cases occur in children without structural heart disease.
