What are the neurological complications of infective endocarditis?
Neurological complications of infective endocarditis can include stroke, encephalopathy, seizures, peripheral neuropathy, and meningitis. Risk factors for major embolic events in hospitalized patients with infective endocarditis include increasing age, valvular vegetation size, and atrial fibrillation. Neurologic manifestations of infective endocarditis include stroke, vision disturbance, encephalopathy, seizures, and peripheral neuropathy. Treatment for neurological complications of infective endocarditis should include antibiotics and, in some cases, surgical intervention. It is important to note that early diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis can help reduce the risk of neurological complications.
