Rheumatic manifestations may be prevalent in more than 30% of patients with infective endocarditis (IE), often predating this diagnosis by several months. A case series of five patients recorded at a tertiary care Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology unit over a period of 1 year emphasises that varied presentations of endocarditis may mimic uncommon rheumatic diseases.
风湿性表现可能在超过30%的感染性心内膜炎(IE)患者中普遍存在,通常在该诊断前数月就已出现。在一家三级医疗风湿病和临床免疫学单位1年内记录的5例患者的病例系列强调,心内膜炎的多种表现可能酷似罕见的风湿性疾病。
