[Infectious endocarditis].

The incidence of infective endocarditis has not decreased over the last years. Infective endocarditis remains severe: the mortality rate during the initial hospital stay is 15%, and a surgical intervention is needed in 25% of the cases. Stricter application of prophylaxis guidelines and better diagnostic and therapeutic management should decrease the frequency and severity of infective endocarditis.
