Epistaxis is a common emergency, and its main causes are hypertensive crisis and trauma. Nasal packing is the primary treatment. After active symptomatic treatment, the symptoms of epistaxis effectively can be controlled. In this case report, the patient was treated with epistaxis many times in the outpatient department. After nasal examination, there was a clear bleeding point, and it was treated with gauze packing or silver nitrate cauterization. The symptoms of epistaxis gradually got worse and was accompanied with fever and progressive anemia. After blood culture and color Doppler ultrasound examination, it was confirmed that it was endocarditis caused by defective hypoxic bacterial infection. After active antibacterial and surgical treatment, the symptoms of epistaxis, fever and anemia were relieved.
