Description

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a common cause of bacteremia, though the most common offending microorganisms tend to be from the staphylococcus, streptococcus, and enterococcus species. Salmonella is a very rare cause of endocarditis accounting for less than 0.01-2.9% of all reported cases of bacterial endocarditis from the known literature. Though fairly uncommon, Salmonella endocarditis has a high mortality rate in complicated or inadequately treated cases, and thus greater effort must be taken to fully treat such rare infections.
