Received Date: Oct 01, 2025 / Published Date: Oct 29, 2025
Abstract
Pediatric infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but severe condition with diverse clinical presentations and challenging diagnoses.
This review synthesizes current knowledge on IE in children, focusing on epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic modalities (echocar
diography, bloodcultures, biomarkers), and managementstrategies. Earlyrecognitionandtimelyintervention, especially for neonates
and those with congenital heart disease, are critical for improving outcomes. Multidisciplinary care involving pediatric cardiologists,
infectious disease specialists, and cardiac surgeons is essential. Emphasis is placed on updated diagnostic criteria and therapeutic
approaches, including surgical considerations and preventive measures.
