title: [Is the immunologic evaluation in endocarditis of value?].
abstract: Forty-seven patients were included in a prospective trial to define the interest for searching immunologic abnormalities during endocarditis. No specific abnormalities were found, aside some patients with endocarditis who have a high levels of immune complexes. These results suggest that the interesting immunologic abnormality is the presence of an high level of immune complexes could be of interest in endocarditis.
