Abstract
The literature contains isolated data on long-term persistence of the virus in the body in immunocompromised patients. The aim – to present a case of long-term persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in a patient with infective endocarditis. We retrospectively analysed the results of PCR assays for COVID-19 in a patient diagnosed with primary infective endocarditis and COVID-19. Despite the given therapy, the persistence of the virus in the patient amounted to 35 days. It was caused by infective endocarditis, a disease accompanied by changes in the organism's reactivity and immune response. COVID-19 affected the course of the postoperative period.
