What are vegetations in infective endocarditis?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Vegetations in infective endocarditis: For bacterial endocarditis, it is a combination of thrombus with bacteria and leukocytes. Instead of bacteria there will be fungi in fungal endocarditis. These “clots” attached to valves are known as vegetations and can be detected by echocardiography. The vegetations can embolize (move through blood circulation to another location) and lodge in other locations where they can cause mycotic aneurysms and abscesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
