ABSTRACT
Infective endocarditis (IE) poses a significant clinical challenge due to its non-specific symptoms and variety of complications. Complications can include ischaemic stroke, valve dysfunction, discitis, and osteomyelitis, highlighting the complexity of IE management. We present a case of a male in his 40s, admitted with an ischaemic stroke, eventually being found to have underlying IE with a plethora of complications. This case highlights the importance of collaboration among specialists to form a multidisciplinary team, which is essential for the effective delivery of care. Furthermore, there is a critical need to explore the psychological impact of IE on patient outcomes, advocating for a holistic approach that considers psychological well-being alongside medical management. Future research should address these underexplored facets to improve patient care and outcomes in IE.
