Infective endocarditis in the adult is life-threatening. Bacterial endocarditis is an inner infection lining the heart muscle (endocardium). The scientific study of the causes of diseases is known as etiology. The agents that cause disease fall into five groups: bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths (worms). Risk factors are past heart defects, damaged or abnormal heart valves, new valves after surgery, chronic hemodialysis, and immunosuppressed state (chemotherapy, HIV, etc.). Infective endocarditis is categorized into two clinical forms: bacterial acute and subacute endocarditis. Acute bacterial endocarditis is usually caused by staphylococci (staph) and streptococci (strep). And occasionally by listeria and brucella bacterial strains. Invasive medical technology has increased the responsibility of healthcare-associated infective endocarditis (HAIE). Microscopy of the disease is the chronic aggressive cells in the deeper zone of nonspecific, composed of fibrin and platelets covering colonies of bacteria. Tuberculous valvular endocarditis due to mycobacterium tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity. Syphilitic endocarditis is pathologically the cutaneous lesions of secondary syphilis. It is caused by infection with the microorganismTreponema pallidum. Fungal endocarditis is a rare and fatal condition. They are infected with fungi such as Candida albicans, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Aspergillus species. Fatal endocarditis associated with Q fever (query fever). Q fever is a chronic or prolonged disease caused by the rickettsiallike bacillus Coxiella burnetii, a rare form of rickettsia in the endocarditis. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection causes chronic and repeated febrile illness. They are followed by pharyngitis, malaise, and a vesicular rash. Chronic Q fever usually manifests as endocarditis or hepatitis. The therapy given to simplify the complications is antimicrobial therapy. The medicines prescribed are ampicillin, cefazolin, ceftazidime, gentamicin, vancomycin, metronidazole, and tobramycin. High medicinal antibiotics are used to control the spread of infective endocarditis.
