    Author: Gianesello L, Pavoni V, Paparella L, Buoninsegni LT, Gritti G.
    Journal: Minerva Anestesiol; 2009 Sep; 75(9):530-2. PubMed ID: 19347002.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the case of a 40-year-old female with severe burns (85% of total body surface area including the thorax) caused by thermal injury who presented mitral valve endocarditis during intensive care unit stay. Bacterial endocarditis represents a rare cause of fatal septicemia complicating thermal injury. The authors focus on diagnosis and on timing of surgical treatment.
