Question:

How does acute endocarditis occur due to staph aureus infection?

Author: H K



Answer:

When staph. reaches the blood it can virtually go to any other distant organ. If it went directly to the heart and attached itself on the endocardium of the heart, it will cause acute endocarditis. Endocarditis is a very dangerous disease because the inside layer of the heart usually is infected, the staph aureus might multiply and do vegetations on the valve of the heart
