It is commonly observed for a brief duration following minor surgical procedures and dental treatments, and can also occur in infections such as tonsillitis. The immune system, which serves as the body&#8217;s natural defense mechanism, typically prevents the bacteria from proliferating and causing harm. However, individuals with abnormal heart valves, resulting from conditions like congenital defects or scarring caused by rheumatic fever, may experience endocarditis, characterized by inflammation of the heart lining and valves, if the bacteria are involved.
