The endocarditis illness could produce heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, emboli, immunological disorders anddeath. The aim is to obtained a tree decision classifier based on the symptoms (attributes) of patients (the data instances) observed by doctors to predict the possiblecomplications that can occur when a patient is in treatment of bacterial endocarditis and thus, help doctors to make an early diagnose so that they can treat more effectively the infection and aid to a patient faster recovery. The results obtainedusing a real data set, show that with the information extracted form each case in anearly stage of the development of the patient a quite accurate idea of the complications that can arise can be extracted.
