Abstract
SERRA VALDES, Miguel. The infectious endocarditis remains as a challenge for the current clinic. Rev cubana med [online]. 2011, vol.50, n.3, pp. 302-310. ISSN 0034-7523.
In the face of the challenge that infectious endocarditis maintains despite the development of current medicine, it is worthwhile to review and to comment on the recent features of this subject so the medical professionals make a reflection to be of benefit for the competence and performance level. It is difficult to make conclusions from the publications reviewed due to the low incidence of this disease compared to others of infectious origin and the diversity of economic, social and institutional factors of study populations.
Keywords : Infectious endocarditis; epidemiology; mortality.
