Abstract

Infective endocarditis is a rare disease in pediatrics, mainly in neonates, even though it involves significant morbidity and mortality. There are defined risk factors; however, regarding diagnosis and mainly for the case of newborns, it continues to be a challenge.

In this paper, we present a 10-year research and follow-up of 5 confirmed cases of infective endocarditis in newborns and their clinical characteristics, paraclinical studies, infectious agents, treatment and association with risk factors in this population.
