Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Patients with infective endocarditis (IE) and COVID-19 can present similar signs and symptoms; thus, it may be difficult for clinicians to diagnose such infections. This report presented a patient diagnosed with IE and co-infected with COVID-19. This case highlights that every physician should consider COVID-19 infection when evaluating patients with IE.
