Most times, yes.: Specifically answring your question: around 90-95% of patients with endocarditis get fever at least once during the course of their disease. Regarding the other symptoms you mention, including night sweats, unintentional weight loss, severe back pain, cough that gets worse with lying flat, and chest pain/discomfort, they are very serious and require you to see a doctor as soon as possible.
