Infective endocarditis is a serious disease associated with high mortality.
Patients surviving recurrent bouts of infective endocarditis are reported
infrequently. We report on a non-drug abuser patient who experienced seven
episodes of infective endocarditis--the largest number reported to our
knowledge in a single non-drug abuser patient.
