Résumé

Infective endocarditis (IE) in the context of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an emerging clinical entity. If not identified timeously, it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Herein, we provide an overview of the literature supported by a clinical vignette, and highlight the importance of early recognition and management of IE in the context of COVID-19 infection.
