Popis:	Infective endocarditis (the infection of heart valves or, in generally, of endocardium) is a serious disease that requires a fast diagnosis, an aggressive and appropriate therapy and, if necessary, a collaboration between internist and surgeon. In this article we report a clinical case of an infective endocarditis in an old female patient, yet treated for aortic valve stenosis with replacement with mechanical prosthesis complicated by paravalvular abscess.
