Endocarditis
General: Common in people with arteriosclerosis; subacute form leads to pyemia; bacterial endocarditis without heart murmur seen in intravenous drug users.
Ocular: Retinal hemorrhages; conjunctival petechiae; choroiditis; Roth spots; spastic mydriasis; optic neuritis; central retinal artery occlusion; choroidal abscess, subretinal neovascularization.
Clinical: Heart murmur; fever; intracranial aneurysm; cerebral hemorrhage; subarachnoid hemorrhage.
