摘要：

This case illustrates a rare, underdiagnosed disease, with a high mortality rate that is frequently misdiagnosed as acute bacterial endocarditis. Clinicians should include non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) as a differential diagnosis in patients with culture-negative endocarditis, so that its underlying etiology can be further investigated.
