Diagnosis of Endocarditis
Session Overview
Description
This session reviews Duke criteria and exceptions.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Identify major and minor Duke criteria
The diagnosis of endocarditis is clinical. It is essential to recognise that the disease process can affect multiple organs, with a variety of possible presentations. Familiarity with the Duke criteria for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis is important.
