Abstract

Our results suggest that in left-sided S aureus IE anticoagulant therapy is closely associated with death due to neurologic damage. According to our data, as soon as the clinical diagnosis of S aureus IE is indicated the use of anticoagulant therapy should be immediately stopped until the septic phase of the disease is overcome.
