Abstract: AimTo describe the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) detected on echocardiography in cancer patients with confirmed Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB).MethodsWe retrospectively identified 95 cases of SAB in cancer patients from January 2007–March 2016. Echocardiography was… read more here.
