We used a prospective cohort 66 consecutive CoNS 170 S. IE patients, collected at 2 tertiary university hospitals Copenhagen (Denmark) 1 hospital Gothenburg (Sweden). Median (range) C-reactive protein admission higher (150 mg/l (1–521) vs 94 (6–303); p<0.001), which may suggest more serous infection. associated prosthetic valve (49% 24%; p<0.001) median diagnostic delay longer (20 d (0–232) 9 (0–132); p<0.001). In-hospital equally high both groups but 25% the had died after y 39% (p =0.05). In conclusion, long hig...
