Abstract
This article briefly reviews the pathogenesis, microbiology, epidemiology and the diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis, and provides guidelines regarding antibiotic prophylaxis. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of data or published recommendations to guide the use of antibiotic prophylaxis for subacute bacterial endocarditis with specific injuries or emergency department procedures.
