    Abstract:
    AIM: Epidemiological analysis of mortality due to infectious endocarditis (IE) and the disease evolution. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made of 109 IE lethal outcomes for 1987-1996 basing on the results of autopsies performed in Kemerovo prosectorium. RESULTS: A significant trend to a rise in death rate of IE was registered. Among the deceased there is a higher proportion of old IE patients and patients with primary IE. Many of the patients died of staphylococcal IE, greater number of patients died of gram-negative infection and IE caused by injections of narcotic drugs. CONCLUSION: Long-term trends in IE evolution are described.
