1 Roth’s spots White-centered retinal hemorrhages that are considered pathognomonic for subacute bacterial endocarditis

2 Ophthalmoscopy showing classic Roth's spots (thin arrow)

3

4 Mycotic aneurysm localized, irreversible arterial dilatation due to destruction of the vessel wall by infection can develop either when a new aneurysm is produced by infection of the arterial wall or when a preexisting aneurysm becomes secondarily infected

5 Large mycotic aneurysm of the left anterior descending artery originating at the proximal stent margin, and rupturing into the right ventricular outflow tract

6 can occur in the cerebral or systemic circulation of patients with endocarditis, usually at points of vessel bifurcation solitary or multiple bleeding , which can occur days, weeks, months, or rarely years
