Abstrakt: Infective endocarditis in neonates can be fatal. Adjunctive rifampin therapy might be effective as salvage therapy in critically ill patients with Staphylococcus aureus native valve endocarditis (NVE). We present a case of a full-term neonate with NVE who had a favorable clinical outcome after adding rifampin to standard therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
