This retro/prospective study aimed to assess the role of fundoscopy in 711 episodes with suspected infective endocarditis; 238 (33%) had infective endocarditis. Ocular embolic events (retinal emboli or chorioretinitis/endophthalmitis) and Roth spots were found in 37 (5%) and 34 (5%) episodes, respectively, but had no impact on infective endocarditis diagnosis.
