Abstract

The frequency of bacterial endocarditis at autopsy in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients was examined. A total of 2352 autopsies were performed during a 30-year period during which bacterial endocarditis (BE) was found in 14 patients (0.59%), and cirrhosis was present in 342 patients (14.5%). Two of the 342 cirrhotic patients had BE (0.58%) and 12 of the 2010 noncirrhotic patients had BE (0.59%), which is not statistically significant.
