| Popis: | Sjögren's syndrome is one of the major autoimmune diseases, however infective endocarditis associated with Sjögren's syndrome has not previously been reported. A patient with Sjögren's syndrome associated with aortic valve regurgitation due to infective endocarditis, underwent successful aortic valve replacement. Patients with Sjögren's syndrome tend to be at a higher risk of intraoral infections due to diminished secretion of saliva. Particular care must be taken of Sjögren's syndrome patients as they can also be at an increased risk of infective endocarditis. |
