In this retrospective/prospective study, we assessed the role of fundoscopy in 711 episodes with suspected infective endocarditis (IE); 238 (33%) had IE. Ocular embolic events (retinal emboli or chorioretinitis/endophthalmitis) and Roth spots were found in 37 (5%) and 34 (5%) episodes, respectively, but had no impact on IE diagnosis.
在这项回顾性/前瞻性研究中，我们评估了眼底检查在 711 例疑似感染性心内膜炎（IE）患者中的作用；其中 238 例（33%）患有 IE。我们发现 37 例（5%）和 34 例（5%）患者分别出现了眼部栓塞事件（视网膜栓塞或脉络膜炎/眼内炎）和 Roth 斑，但它们对 IE 的诊断没有影响。
