Infective endocarditis is a pathology that is usually associated with various risk factors, including previous heart surgeries or congenital heart disease. This disease generally presents with various clinical complications due to late diagnosis, reaching a mortality rate of around 24 %. A clinical case of a 17-year-old male patient with no pathological history is presented, with fever of unknown origin plus syncope. An adequate diagnostic approach allowed the discovery of infective endocarditis, although with the development of complications that were the reason for procedures such as aortic valvuloplasty, aortic valve replacement, reconstruction of the aortic annulus, pericardiotomy, and multiple drainages of infectious collections. Despite the complications and high mortality of this pathology, the patient had a favorable prognosis
