A case of woman, aged 40 with multiple sclerosis who was admitted to the Internal Medicine Ward because of severe general state, fever of seven-day duration and systolic murmur in apex area is discussed in this paper. Clinical status and performed diagnostics, among others; echocardiography, blood cultures, abdominal ultrasonography, allowed to diagnose infective endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis.
