INTRODUCTION: We aimed to define the current characteristics of @entity884 ( @entity884 ) in a part of @entity233 . METHODS: All @entity1 who were hospitalized in our hospital with a diagnosis of @entity884 between 2009 and 2014 were included in the study. Data were collected from archives records of all @entity1 . Modified Duke criteria were used for diagnosis. RESULTS: There were 85 @entity884 cases during the study period. The mean age of @entity1 was 52 years. Fourty eight of @entity1 were males. Native valves involved in 47%, prostetic valves involved in 40% and pacemaker or @entity1479 lead @entity884 in 13% of @entity1 . Mitral valve was the most common site of vegetationb (38%). The most common valvular pathology was @entity339 . The most common predisposing factor was @entity340 (40%). Positive culture rate was 68%. Staphylococci were the most frequent causative microorganisms isolated (27%) followed by Streptococcus spp. (11%). In-hospital mortality rate was 36%. CONCLUSION: In @entity233 , @entity884 occurs in relatively young @entity1 . In high developed part of @entity233 , prosthetic and dejenerative @entity340 is taking the place of @entity627 as a predisposing factor. Surgery is an important factor for preventing mortality.
