Abstract
|
|
|
|
Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is a valvular heart disease that is associated with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Cases of LSE and APS associated with infection have been reported during the last several years. Herein, we present a patient who was suspected to have developed LSE and catastrophic APS during the treatment of her definite infective endocarditis, which was caused by Staphylococcus aureus, and the patient’s condition was complicated with cerebral abscess, sensorineural hearing loss, endophthalmitis, renal infarction, splenic abscess, and septic arthritis.
