AB Endocarditis  patients  often  have  nonspecific  signs  and  symptoms,  but  endocarditis  has  the  potential  for  multiorgan  involvement.  The  clinical  course  of  endocarditis  can  be  indolent  or  fulminant.  The  majority  of  endocarditis  is  infective;  diagnosis  relies  on  a  set  of  explicit  criteria  (see  later  Tables  156-3  and  156-4  in  “Diagnosis”  section).  Unrecognized  endocarditis  has  frequent  complications  and  high  mortality.
