    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Endocarditis is a rare but serious cardiac condition.
    • Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are increasingly supporting severely ill infants.
    • The incidence of endocarditis in NICUs may be rising.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of endocarditis were diagnosed post-mortem in an NICU over eight months.
    • Echocardiography revealed abnormalities in the mitral valve in one infant.
    • Echocardiography showed tricuspid valve abnormalities in two infants.

    Findings:

    • Echocardiography is valuable for diagnosing endocarditis before death.
    • Clinical presentations of endocarditis are diverse, including bacterial and nonbacterial forms.

  • Increased survival of critically ill neonates may contribute to higher endocarditis incidence.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment of endocarditis in neonates are crucial.
    • Echocardiography should be considered in neonates with suspected endocarditis.
    • Further research is needed to understand the rising incidence of endocarditis in NICUs.
