Summary
Tuberculosis (TB) can mask bacterial endocarditis (BE) symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis. Early consideration of BE in TB patients with fever and cardiac murmurs is crucial for timely treatment and improved outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Infectious Diseases
- Cardiology
- Pulmonology
Background:
- Bacterial endocarditis (BE) clinical presentations can be atypical when co-occurring with conditions like tuberculosis (TB).
- Symptoms of BE may be obscured by TB fever, increasing the risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
