Abstract

Infective endocarditis is a bacterial infection of the cardiac valves and endocardium with a high level of mortality and morbidity. Due to such high mortality and morbidity risks, early and accurate diagnosis bears great importance. Accordingly, for prevention of wrong or delayed diagnosis and treatment, it is important to know and be aware of diseases that can be mimicked by infective endocarditis and to keep such diseases in mind in the assessment and evaluation of the patient. In patients suffering from infective endocarditis, the disease may be accompanied by rheumatological symptoms and manifestations such as myalgia, arthralgia and arthritis. A review of the existing medical literature reveals a few cases of infective endocarditis mimicking polymyalgia rheumatica. In this article, we present a 64-year-old male case of infective endocarditis mimicking polymyalgia rheumatica without any known predisposing factor for infective endocarditis.

Özet

İnfektif endokardit, kalp kapakları ve endokardın mortalite ve morbidite seviyesi yüksek bir bakteriyel infeksiyonudur. Bu yüksek mortalite ve morbidite nedeniyle erken ve doğru tanı büyük önem taşımaktadır. Buna uygun şekilde, infektif endokarditin taklit edebileceği hastalıkların bilinmesi ve bunların farkında olunması ve hastanın değerlendirilmesi sırasında bu gibi hastalıkların akılda bulundurulması yanlış ya da gecikmiş tanı ve tedavinin önlenmesinde önemlidir. İnfektif endokarditten yakınan hastalarda hastalığa miyalji, artralji ve artrit gibi romatolojik semptomlar ve belirtiler eşlik edebilir. Mevcut tıbbi literatür incelendiğinde, polimiyaljiya romatikayı taklit eden çok az sayıda infektif endokardit olgusu bulunduğu görüldü. Bu yazıda, infektif endokardite eğilim yarattığı bilinen herhangi bir faktöre sahip olmayan ve polimiyaljiya romatikayı taklit eden infektif endokarditli 64 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu.
