title: Gram-negative infection as an unusual cause of endocarditis in a hemodialysis patient.
abstract: Gram-negative endocarditis is rare and it has high mortality if there is a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Gram-negative organisms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of IE in hemodialysis patients. Central lineassociated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) can be prevented by following sterile measures during catheter insertion and proper management of catheter site.
