Abstract. Infectious endocarditis remains challenging to diagnose, especially for patients with no apparent clinical symptoms. The presented clinical case describes a rapid progression of sepsis and challenges in treating a patient with risk factors, including undergoing immunosuppressive therapy due to a transplanted kidney, renal failure and the need for conventional dialysis. The case report highlights the significance of frequent monitoring of patients with the described risk factors, and emphasises the critical role of adopting more aggressive treatment strategies during the initial phases of the disease.
