[Meningeal febrile syndrome and hemiplegia revealing infectious endocarditis: the story of a catheter-related infection].

Introduction: We report the case of a 48-years patient who is under chimotherapy because of a breast cancer. She was initially found at her place in coma with hyperthermia and neurological deficiency signs. The clinic history and the paraclinical investigations have enabled to detect a catheter-related infection (CRI) as soon as the diagnosis of disseminated infectious endocarditis was made.
