Can bacterial endocarditis be caused by the flu?
Yes as an opportunistic (secondary) infection when the immune system is fighting the flu virus and has trouble dealing with bacterial infections at the same time. Weakened immune systems can allow people to get bacterial infections more easily. But the person still must be exposed to the bacteria that causes the infection and inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (which is called the endocardium). Endocarditis also can affect the heart valves. Prevention is the best medicine! Get your flu vaccination!
