Abstract:
Infective endocarditis (IE) presents with several signs and symptoms that are mainly heart-related and the result of bacteremia. We describe the case of a woman with severe renal hemorrhage due to a septic embolic cortical infarction, who was also receiving anticoagulation therapy because of cardiopathy, whose retroperitoneal hematoma was the first manifestation of IE.
