Was investigated the blood of 387 patients with infective endocarditis (280) and secondary infective endocarditis (107). Pathogens were detected in 78,0% of cases by microscopy of peripheral blood and blood cultures were plated in 41,8% of cases. It was specified the etiological significance of Gram-positive rods, fungi and polymicrobial infections circulating in the blood by the results of microscopy and culture of blood.
Key words: infective endocarditis, microscopy of blood, blood cultures.
