Its epidemiological profile was considerably modified these last years.New predisposing factors appeared, due to increasing number of patients wearing valvular prosthetics. The purpose of this study is to realize in 2008 a new observational study on populational basis to describe and analyze the evolution of the epidemiology of IE in France, compared to previous studies conducted in 1991 and 1999.

The IE cases are declared by clinicians taking care of the patients, microbiologists and cardiac ultrasonographists.
