Pediatric Cardiology
Natasha Noel, Zahra Naheed

Abstract

In the past decade, there has been evolution in the diagnosis, management, and long-term care of patients with infective endocarditis and its complications. This includes the relatively new but contentious prophylactic antibiotic regimen. However, these cases still continue to pose a challenge in the adult and pediatric populations. We present a case of a teenager with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that had an atypical presentation of infective endocarditis.
