Abstract:
Infective endocarditis (1E) is the endovascular microbial infection of cardiovascular structures (cardiac valve, ventricular or atrial endocardium) including endarteritis of large intrathoracic vessels.(1,2) Orthopedic diseases, particularly spondylodiscitis and osteomyelitis are frequently associated with infective endocarditis and prevalence varies between 3.7-15%. Diabetic foot infection is a complication which develops as the result of peripheral neuropathy and insufficient tissue perfusion, proceeds to deeper tissues unless treated and impairs the quality of life of the patients, even it may be life-threatening. S.aureus and beta-hemolytic streptococcus are the most commonly isolated bacteriae.d
