INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
6/25/2023
1
Definition
 Infective endocarditis (IE) is a microbial
infection of the endothelial surface of the heart or
iatrogenic foreign bodies like prosthetic valves or
other intracardiac devices
 Infective Endarteritis – AV shunts,
Arterioarterial shunts, Coarctation of aorta

Traditionally, IE has been classified on
clinical grounds into acute and subacute forms.
1. Acute IE
2. Subacute IE
6/25/2023

1.Acute IE :The strong pathogenic pyogenic bacteria
(carbuncle, puerperal fever, osteomyelitis )
> Immune resistance down > bacteria get into the
blood>sepsis > invasion of normal endocardium
>invasion of mitral valve, aortic valve>acute septic
endocarditis>bacterial vegetations
2.Subacute IE: Streptococcus viridans (localized
infection focus in vivo or iatrogenic infection)>
bacteria into the blood >the mitral valve or/and aortic
valve with original lesions (80%, congenital heart
disease, RHD or valve repair) >Subacute IE
>bacterial vegetations 6/25/2023

The prototypic lesion
The vegetation
 Variable in size
 Amorphous mass of fibrin & platelets
 Abundant organisms
 Few inflammatory cells

Pathogenesis
6/25/2023
7
Infective Endocarditis
 Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis
• Endothelial injury
• Hypercoagulable state
 Lesions seen at coaptation points of valves
 Atrial surface mitral/tricuspid
 Ventricular surface aortic/pulmonic
 Modes of endothelial injury
 High velocity jet
 Flow from high pressure to low pressure chamber
 Flow across narrow orifice of high velocity
Platelet-fibrin thrombi
6/25/2023
8
Conversion of NBTE to BE
 Transient bacteremia
 Traumatization of mucosal surface colonized with bacteria
(oral, GI)
 Low grade, cleared in 15-30 minutes
 Susceptibility to complement-mediated bacterial killing
 Leads to concept of prophylaxis
6/25/2023
9
Infective Endocarditis
• Pathology
– Native Valve Endocarditis infection is largely confined to
leaflets
– Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis infection commonly extends
beyond valve ring into annulus/periannular tissue
• Ring abscesses
• Septal abscesses
• Fistulae
• Prosthetic dehiscence
– Invasive infection more common in aortic position
and if onset is early
– Bracht Wachter bodies – myocardial microabcesses
6/25/2023
10
Epidemiology
• 1.7 to 6.2 cases per 100,000 population per year in
US
• The cumulative rate of prosthetic valve
endocarditis is 1.5 to 3.0% at 1 year after valve
replacement.
• 3 to 6% at 5 years; the risk is greatest during the
first 6 months after valve replacement.
• Men predominate in most case series, with male-
to-female ratios ranging from 2:1 to 9:1
6/25/2023
11
Risk Factors
• Structural heart disease
– Rheumatic, congenital, aging
– Prosthetic heart valves
• Injected drug use
• Invasive procedures (Intracardiac pacemaker,
Implatable Cardio Defibrillator , AV Fistula)
• Indwelling vascular devices
• Other infection with bacteremia (e.g.
pneumonia, meningitis)
• Immunocompromised states
• History of infective endocarditis
6/25/2023
12
The causative organisms in IE
Viridans Streptococci
 30-65% of native valve endocarditis
 Normal oral commensals
 A group, composed of several species:
 S. mitior, S. sanguis, S. mutans,etc.
 Alpha-hemolytic, non-typable
 Typical agents of classic “SBE”
6/25/2023
13
Other Streptococci
• S. bovis
– Lancefield group D
– Gut flora: associated with GI pathology
• S. pneumonia
– 1-3% of cases of IE with predilection for AV
– Usually, in those with immune suppression
• DM and Alcoholism
• Group B Streptococci
– Elderly with chronic disease
6/25/2023
14
Enterococcus
 Normal inhabitant of GI tract.
 Frequently encountered in UTIs.
 Up to 40% of cases without identified underlying
predisposition to IE.
 Difficult to treat due to drug resistance.
6/25/2023
15
Staphylococci
 Coagulase Positive (Staph. aureus)
 a major causative agent in all populations of IE
 typically produces “acute” IE
 fulminant, rapidly progressive with few immunologic signs.
 CNS complications in 30-50%
 Coagulase Negative (Staph. Epi)
 Major cause of PVE and 3-8% of NVE.
6/25/2023
16
HACEK organisms
• Hemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium,
Eikenella, Kingella
• Gram negative inhabitants of the upper airways.
• Large vegetations, high likelihood of
embolization.
• Slow growing: hold cultures for 3 weeks.
• Traditionally sensitive to beta lactams, now
some produce beta lactamase.

One major and three minor
criteria,
OR
Five minor criteria allows a clinical
diagnosis of definite endocarditis.
6/25/2023
45
Rejected IE
 If an alternative diagnosis is established,
 If symptoms resolve and do not recur with 4 days of
antibiotic therapy, or
 If surgery or autopsy after 4 days of antimicrobial
therapy yields no histologic evidence of endocarditis.
6/25/2023
46
Possible IE
 Illnesses not classified as definite endocarditis or rejected
 When either one major and one minor criteria or three minor
criteria are identified.

of blood culture can be enhanced by diluting the
culture broth and adding sodium
polyanetholsulfonate or a dedicated adsorbant
resin.
 Atypical fastidious growing organisms are
subcultured on Chocolate agar

present in the C cell of the thyroid gland
 In sepsis it is released to circulation
 Values exceeding 2.3 ng/ml in a suspected case of
IE has a sensitivity of 81 %& specificity of 85 %.
 More valuable than CRP in Sepsis
6/25/2023
64
Treatment of IE
 Native vs. Prosthetic Valve
 Bactericidal therapy is necessary
 Eradication of bacteria in the vegetation
 May be metabolically inactive (stationary phase)
 May need higher concentrations of antimicrobial agents
6/25/2023
65
Antimicrobial Therapy
 Blood culture become sterile within 2 days
 Fever resolves in 4 to 7 days
 If fever persists despite 7 days of antibiotics evaluate
for paravalvular or extracardiac abscess
 Combination therapy most important for
 Shorter course regimens
 Enterococcal endocarditis
 Prosthetic valve infections

6/25/2023
74
OTHER ORGANISMS
Streptococcus pneumoniae
• Penicillin if sensitive- can be treated with
intravenous penicillin
• Cftriaxone (2 g/d as a single dose), or cefotaxime (at
a comparable dosage).
• Infection caused by penicillin resistant strains
should be treated with vancomycin.
6/25/2023
75
 P. aeruginosa endocarditis is treated with an
antipseudomonal penicillin (ticarcillin or
piperacillin) and high doses of tobramycin (8 mg/kg
per day in three divided doses).
 Endocarditis caused by Enterobacteriaceae is treated
with a potent beta-lactam antibiotic plus an
aminoglycoside.
6/25/2023
76
• Corynebacterial endocarditis is treated with
penicillin plus an aminoglycoside (if the organism is
susceptible to the aminoglycoside) or with
vancomycin.
• Therapy for Candida endocarditis consists of
amphotericin B plus flucytosine and early surgery;
long-term suppression with fluconazole is also used.
6/25/2023
77
Empirical Therapy
• Therapy without culture data (i.e., before
culture results are known or when cultures
are negative).
• For acute endocarditis in an injection drug
user should cover methicillin-resistant S.
aureus and gram-negative bacilli.
• The initiation of treatment with vancomycin
plus gentamicin immediately after blood is
obtained for cultures covers these as well as
many other potential causes.
6/25/2023
78
• In culture-negative -marantic endocarditis
must be excluded and fastidious organisms
sought serologically.
• In the absence of prior antibiotic therapy, it
is unlikely to be due to S. aureus, coagulase-
negative staphylococcal, or enterococcal.
• Blood culture–negative subacute native
valve endocarditis is treated with ceftriaxone
plus gentamicin.
• These two antimicrobials plus vancomycin
should be used if prosthetic valves are
involved.
6/25/2023
79
 Serologic abnormalities (e.g.ESR , RF)
resolve slowly and do not reflect response to
treatment.
 Vegetations become smaller with effective
therapy, but at 3 months after cure half are
unchanged and 25% are slightly larger.
6/25/2023
80
Prophylactic Therapy for IE
Recommendations
6/25/2023
81
1997 American Heart Assoc. Guidelines:
Endocarditis Prophylaxis Recommended:
High-risk category
Prosthetic cardiac valves, including bioprosthetic and homograft valves
Previous bacterial endocarditis
Complex cyanotic congenital heart disease (eg, single ventricle states, transposition of the
great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot)
Surgically constructed systemic pulmonary shunts or conduits
Moderate-risk category
Most other congenital cardiac malformations (other than above and below)
Acquired valvar dysfunction (eg, rheumatic heart disease)
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Mitral valve prolapse with valvar regurgitation and/or thickened leaflets
Endocarditis Prophylaxis Not Recommended:
Negligible-risk category (no greater risk than the general population)
Isolated secundum atrial septal defect
Surgical repair of atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, or patent ductus arteriosus
(without residua beyond 6 mo)
Previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Mitral valve prolapse without valvar regurgitation1
Physiologic, functional, or innocent heart murmurs1
Previous Kawasaki disease without valvar dysfunction
Previous rheumatic fever without valvar dysfunction
Cardiac pacemakers (intravascular and epicardial) and implanted defibrillators
6/25/2023
82
1997 AHA Guidelines
 Assumptions:
 Bacteremia with organisms known to cause IE occurs
in assoc. with invasive dental/GI/GU procedures
 Antibiotic prophylaxis was proven effective in animals
 Antibiotic prophylaxis thought to be effective in
human
6/25/2023
83
Reasons for 2007 Revision
 IE more likely due to frequent exposure to random
bacteremias from daily activities than from
bacteremia during dental/GI/GU procedure
 Prophylaxis may prevent only small number of
cases of IE, even if 100% effective
 Risk of antibiotic-assoc. adverse events exceeds the
benefit, if any, from prophylaxis
 To reduce the risk of bacteremia from
dental procedure: maintaining good oral
health and hygiene is more important than
Antibiotic prophylaxis
6/25/2023
84
Frequency of Transient Bacteremia
 Tooth extraction 10-100%
 Periodontal surgery 36-88%
 Teeth cleaning 40%
 Tooth brushing, 20-68%
 Using wooden toothpicks 20-40%
 Chewing food 7-51%
6/25/2023
85
2007 guideline: Who gets
prophylaxis for IE?
Only patients with the highest risk of adverse
outcomes (heart failure, surgery, death) from
endocarditis:
1. Prosthetic cardiac valve
2. Previous IE
3. Cardiac transplant recipients who develop cardiac
valvulopathy
4. Congenital Heart Disease
6/25/2023
86
Which categories of Congenital Heart
Disease require prophylaxis?
 Unrepaired cyanotic CHD
 Tetralogy of Fallot, Transposition of Great Arteries,
including palliative shunts and conduits
 Completely repaired congenital heart defect with
prosthetic material or device during 1st 6 months
after surgery
 Repaired CHD with residual defects at or near a
prosthetic patch/device (which inhibit
endothelialization)
6/25/2023
87
What about “Moderate-Risk” Pts?
1997’s “Moderate Risk” Category NO LONGER gets
prophylaxis:
 MVP with regurg and/or thickened leaflets
 Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
 Acquired Valvular Dysfunction (eg rheumatic heart
disease)
6/25/2023
88
Dental Procedures
 “If it bleeds, give prophylaxis”
 High-risk pts undergoing all dental procedures
that involve manipulation of gingival tissues
OR periapical region of teeth OR perforation
of oral mucosa
 i.e. biopsies, suture removal, placing orthodontic bands
 NO PROPHYLAXIS:
 Xray, anesthetic injections, fluoride treatments
 Shedding of deciduous teeth
 Placement/adjustment of removable prosthodontic or
orthodontic appliances
6/25/2023
89
Prophylaxis for Dental Procedures
6/25/2023
90
Concern over resistant Strep Viridans
 Quinolones or IV Vancomycin not recommended
for prophylaxis due to concern of creating new
drug resistance
6/25/2023
91
Respiratory Tract Procedures
 No published data linking resp tract procedures
and IE..
 Consider prophylaxis for High-risk pts
undergoing Invasive Procedure in resp tract
with incision or biopsy of resp mucosa:
 Tonsillectomy
 Adenoidectomy
 Bronchoscopy WITH biopsy (not for BAL alone)
 Resp tract procedure to drain abscess or empyema
6/25/2023
92
Procedures on Infected Skin/Skin
Structure, or msk Tissue
In patients who are HIGH-risk for IE:
 The antibiotic regimen given to treat the skin or
musculoskeletal infection should contain an Anti-
staphylococcal Pencillin or cephalosporin
 If unable to take PO or Pencillin-allergic:
Clindamycin or Vancomycin
6/25/2023
93
Summary: IE prophylaxis
 Need high-risk patient PLUS high-risk procedure
 High-risk pts:
1. Prosthetic cardiac valve
2. Previous IE
3. Cardiac transplants with valvulopathy
4. Congenital Heart Disease
 High-risk procedures:
1. Dental: “If it bleeds, give prophylaxis”
2. Respiratory: Consider if pt will be cut or biopsied
6/25/2023
94
No Prophylaxis
 Endotracheal intubation
 Cardiac cath/stent
 Pacer/ICD implantation
 GI/GU procedures
 OGD, Colonoscopy
 Barium Enema
 TEE
 Incision/Bx of surgically scrubbed skin
 Circumcision
 Vaginal delivery
 Hysterectomy

ENDOCARDITIS - lecture.pptx

  • 2. Definition  Infective endocarditis (IE) is a microbial infection of the endothelial surface of the heart or iatrogenic foreign bodies like prosthetic valves or other intracardiac devices  Infective Endarteritis – AV shunts, Arterioarterial shunts, Coarctation of aorta 6/25/2023 2
  • 3. Traditionally, IE has been classified on clinical grounds into acute and subacute forms. 1. Acute IE 2. Subacute IE 6/25/2023 3
  • 4. 1.Acute IE :The strong pathogenic pyogenic bacteria (carbuncle, puerperal fever, osteomyelitis ) > Immune resistance down > bacteria get into the blood>sepsis > invasion of normal endocardium >invasion of mitral valve, aortic valve>acute septic endocarditis>bacterial vegetations 2.Subacute IE: Streptococcus viridans (localized infection focus in vivo or iatrogenic infection)> bacteria into the blood >the mitral valve or/and aortic valve with original lesions (80%, congenital heart disease, RHD or valve repair) >Subacute IE >bacterial vegetations 6/25/2023 4
  • 5. The prototypic lesion The vegetation  Variable in size  Amorphous mass of fibrin & platelets  Abundant organisms  Few inflammatory cells 6/25/2023 5
  • 6. In the aortic opening a larger, irregular red vegetations, this mostly by Staphylococcus aureus infection. 6/25/2023 6
  • 8. Infective Endocarditis  Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis • Endothelial injury • Hypercoagulable state  Lesions seen at coaptation points of valves  Atrial surface mitral/tricuspid  Ventricular surface aortic/pulmonic  Modes of endothelial injury  High velocity jet  Flow from high pressure to low pressure chamber  Flow across narrow orifice of high velocity Platelet-fibrin thrombi 6/25/2023 8
  • 9. Conversion of NBTE to BE  Transient bacteremia  Traumatization of mucosal surface colonized with bacteria (oral, GI)  Low grade, cleared in 15-30 minutes  Susceptibility to complement-mediated bacterial killing  Leads to concept of prophylaxis 6/25/2023 9
  • 10. Infective Endocarditis • Pathology – Native Valve Endocarditis infection is largely confined to leaflets – Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis infection commonly extends beyond valve ring into annulus/periannular tissue • Ring abscesses • Septal abscesses • Fistulae • Prosthetic dehiscence – Invasive infection more common in aortic position and if onset is early – Bracht Wachter bodies – myocardial microabcesses 6/25/2023 10
  • 11. Epidemiology • 1.7 to 6.2 cases per 100,000 population per year in US • The cumulative rate of prosthetic valve endocarditis is 1.5 to 3.0% at 1 year after valve replacement. • 3 to 6% at 5 years; the risk is greatest during the first 6 months after valve replacement. • Men predominate in most case series, with male- to-female ratios ranging from 2:1 to 9:1 6/25/2023 11
  • 12. Risk Factors • Structural heart disease – Rheumatic, congenital, aging – Prosthetic heart valves • Injected drug use • Invasive procedures (Intracardiac pacemaker, Implatable Cardio Defibrillator , AV Fistula) • Indwelling vascular devices • Other infection with bacteremia (e.g. pneumonia, meningitis) • Immunocompromised states • History of infective endocarditis 6/25/2023 12
  • 13. The causative organisms in IE Viridans Streptococci  30-65% of native valve endocarditis  Normal oral commensals  A group, composed of several species:  S. mitior, S. sanguis, S. mutans,etc.  Alpha-hemolytic, non-typable  Typical agents of classic “SBE” 6/25/2023 13
  • 14. Other Streptococci • S. bovis – Lancefield group D – Gut flora: associated with GI pathology • S. pneumonia – 1-3% of cases of IE with predilection for AV – Usually, in those with immune suppression • DM and Alcoholism • Group B Streptococci – Elderly with chronic disease 6/25/2023 14
  • 15. Enterococcus  Normal inhabitant of GI tract.  Frequently encountered in UTIs.  Up to 40% of cases without identified underlying predisposition to IE.  Difficult to treat due to drug resistance. 6/25/2023 15
  • 16. Staphylococci  Coagulase Positive (Staph. aureus)  a major causative agent in all populations of IE  typically produces “acute” IE  fulminant, rapidly progressive with few immunologic signs.  CNS complications in 30-50%  Coagulase Negative (Staph. Epi)  Major cause of PVE and 3-8% of NVE. 6/25/2023 16
  • 17. HACEK organisms • Hemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eikenella, Kingella • Gram negative inhabitants of the upper airways. • Large vegetations, high likelihood of embolization. • Slow growing: hold cultures for 3 weeks. • Traditionally sensitive to beta lactams, now some produce beta lactamase. 6/25/2023 17
  • 18. Fungi • Commonly encountered agents: – Candida, Torulopsis, Aspergillus • Predispositions – Prosthetic valves – IV Drug Addicts – Immunosupression – Parentral nutrition – Prolonged antibiotic treatment • Large vegetations and frequent embolic events. 6/25/2023 18
  • 19. Other Organisms  Pseudomonas  Diphtheroids  Listeria  Bartonella  Coxiella,Legionella,Salmonella,Brucella  Chlamydia,Abiotropia  Bartonella ,tropheryma, streptobacillus 6/25/2023 19
  • 20. BCNE • Blood culture (negative) sterile in 31 % (western data) • Sterile culture in India – 48 to 54 % • Blood culture is positive only on 67.7% of the cases in recently published data from India • Causes – Antibiotic therapy before blood culture – Fastidius or atypical organisms do not grow in routine culture media – Fungal or viral Endocarditis 6/25/2023 20
  • 21. IV Drug Users  Accounts for 25% of cases of IE in US.  5:1 male:female  Pre-existing valvular diseases uncommon.  Variable microbiology.  Mortality<10%. AV 6% MV 24% TV 70% 6/25/2023 21
  • 22. Prosthetic Valve IE  Affects 3% of prosthesis patients.  Highest risk in first 6 months post op.  Accounts for 10-20% of all IE cases.  Increased risk in;  Males  Blacks  Multiple valve replacement 6/25/2023 22
  • 23. Prosthetic Valve IE  “Early” (<2 months)-Staphylococcus  “Late” (after 2 months)- mimics NVE 6/25/2023 23
  • 24. Clinical features • High index of clinical suspicion is the cornerstone of early diagnosis • Symptoms – Fever, sweats, chills – Anorexia, malaise, weight loss • Signs – Anemia (normochromic, normocytic) – Splenomegaly – Microscopic hematuria, proteinuria – New or changing heart murmur, CHF – Embolic or immunologic dermatologic signs – Hypergammaglobulinemia, elevated ESR, CRP, RF 6/25/2023 24
  • 26.  Fever is the most common symptom and sign in patients with IE. Fever may be absent or minimal in  elderly  in those with CHF,  severe debility,  chronic renal failure  NVE caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci 6/25/2023 26
  • 27. Cardiac murmur  New changing regurgitant murmur is the hallmark of IE  Murmurs are commonly not audible in  Tricuspid valve IE  Acute NVE due to S. aureus  Murmurs are heard in only 30 to 45 percent of patients on initial evaluation but are ultimately noted in 75 to 85 percent. 6/25/2023 27
  • 28.  Embolic phenomena include systemic,cerebral and pumonary emboli are common in >50 % cases. 6/25/2023 28
  • 30. Cardiac Pathologic Changes  Vegetations on valve closure lines  Destruction and perforation of valve leaflet  Rupture of chordae tendinae, intraventricular septum, papillary muscles  Valve ring abscess  Myocardial abscess  Conduction abnormalities 6/25/2023 30
  • 31. S. Aureus mitral valve vegetation, anterior leaflet 6/25/2023 31
  • 33. Pathologic Changes  Kidney  Immune complex glomerulonephritis  Emboli with infarction, abscess  Aortic mycotic aneurysms 6/25/2023 33
  • 34. Pathologic Changes  Splenic enlargement, infarction  Septic pulmonary embolism  Skin  Petechiae  Osler nodes: diffuse infiltrate of neutrophils, and monocytes in the dermal vessels with immune complex deposition. Tender and erythematous  Janeway lesions: septic emboli with bacteria, neutrophils and S/C hemorrhage and necrosis. Blanching and non-tender. Palms and soles 6/25/2023 34
  • 35. MUSCULOSKELETAL  Vertebral osteomyelitis - rare.  Osteomyelitis - S. aureus endocarditis .  Acute septic arthritis 6/25/2023 35
  • 37. Splinter Hemorrhages 1. Nonspecific 2. Nonblanching 3. Linear reddish-brown lesions found under the nail bed 4. Usually do NOT extend the entire length of the nail 6/25/2023 37
  • 38. Osler’s Nodes 1. More specific 2. Painful and erythematous nodules 3. Located on pulp of fingers and toes 4. More common in subacute IE 6/25/2023 38
  • 39. Janeway Lesions 1. More specific 2. Erythematous, blanching macules 3. Nonpainful 4. Located on palms and soles 6/25/2023 39
  • 40. Septic emboli with hemorrhage and infarction due to acute S. aureus endocarditis 6/25/2023 40
  • 42.  Enlargement of the spleen is noted in 15 to 50 percent of patients and is more common in subacute IE of long duration. 6/25/2023 42
  • 43. Diagnosis of IE:Duke’s v/s modified Dukes  Duke’s sensitivity -76 % in western  Major deficiency is inability to diagnose benign disease  Major additions in modified dukes includes Q fever serology, staphylococcal bacteremia in the absence of other primary focus as major criteria, serological evidence of other organism consistent with endocarditis as minor criteria. 6/25/2023 43
  • 45. Two major criteria, OR One major and three minor criteria, OR Five minor criteria allows a clinical diagnosis of definite endocarditis. 6/25/2023 45
  • 46. Rejected IE  If an alternative diagnosis is established,  If symptoms resolve and do not recur with 4 days of antibiotic therapy, or  If surgery or autopsy after 4 days of antimicrobial therapy yields no histologic evidence of endocarditis. 6/25/2023 46
  • 47. Possible IE  Illnesses not classified as definite endocarditis or rejected  When either one major and one minor criteria or three minor criteria are identified. 6/25/2023 47
  • 48. St Thomas modifications From the Division of Infection, United Medical and Dental School, St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, United Kingdom LAMAS & EYKYN et al  Inclusion of ESR , CRP, Presence of newly diagnosed clubbing, splenomegaly and microhematuria, as minor criteria  Increases sensitivity by 10 %  More appropriate in Indian /African patients 6/25/2023 48
  • 49. St Thomas modifications From the Division of Infection, United Medical and Dental School, St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, United Kingdom  Pathologically proven yet culture negative Endocarditis  21 % were classified definite by Original Duke’s  32 % were definite by modified Duke’s  62 % were definite by St Thomas modification 6/25/2023 49
  • 50. Blood Cultures in IE  3 separate venepunctures during one hour period at least 10 ml blood before giving antibiotics.  Adherence to above practice yields positive culture in 90 %  But at least 30 % are prescribed antibiotics before taking culture.  Sterile culture ---western =2.5 to 31% --- Indian = 48 to 54 % ? Kenyan 6/25/2023 50
  • 51. Blood Cultures  MULTIPLE BLOOD CULTURES BEFORE EMPIRIC THERAPY  If not critically ill  3 blood cultures over 12-24 hour period  ? Delay therapy until diagnosis confirmed  If critically ill  3 blood cultures one hour apart  No more than 2 from same venepuncture  Relatively constant bacteremia 6/25/2023 51
  • 52. “Culture Negative” IE  Less common with improved blood culture methods  Special media required  Brucella, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Histoplasma, Legionella, Bartonella  Longer incubation may be required  HACEK  Coxiella burnetii (Q Fever), Trophyrema whipplei will not grow in cell-free media 6/25/2023 52
  • 53. Use of Echo in Diagnosis of IE  Native Valves-ACC Guidelines:  Detection/characterization of valvular lesions  Detection of vegetations and characterization of lesions in patients with CHD  Detection of associated abnormalities  Reevaluation studies in complex IE  Evaluation of patients with high suspicion of culture-negative IE 6/25/2023 53

  • 56.  Echo is useful in predicting complications based on the size of the vegetation, mobility , extent,& consistency, either embolisation or destruction.  Vegetations greater than 10 mm often embolise 6/25/2023 56
  • 57. TTE v/s TEE  Transthoracic echocardiographyTTE ;Initial echo. Sensitive in VSD and aortic valve repair. vegetation above AV or suture site  Transesophageal echorcardiography TEE; - Can detect structure upto 1 mm  Pulmonic and prosthetic valve lesion aare better visualised  Sensitivity 81- 100%  Specificity – 91 to 100% 6/25/2023 57
  • 58. Use of Echo in Diagnosis of IE  TEE:  Prosthetic valves  Poor visualization on TTE and high suspicion  Detection of associated complications  Preoperative  Reevaluation in complex IE 6/25/2023 58
  • 59. Other tests  Electrocardiogram  Conduction delays  Ischemia or infarction  Chest X-ray  Septic emboli in right-sided IE  Valve calcification  CHF 6/25/2023 59
  • 60. Microbiological advances to increase culture yield  In patients with previous antibiotic therapy the yield of blood culture can be enhanced by diluting the culture broth and adding sodium polyanetholsulfonate or a dedicated adsorbant resin.  Atypical fastidious growing organisms are subcultured on Chocolate agar 6/25/2023 60
  • 61. Serology in IE  Serology  Coxiella burnetii – endocarditis presents only during chronic infection with coxiella  Bartonella  Brucella  Legionella  Chlamydophila 6/25/2023 61
  • 62. Molecular diagnostic techniques in IE  PCR  RT PCR  Proteomics ( protein signatures of the organism used to identify the pathogens) 6/25/2023 62
  • 63. Molecular diagnostic techniques in IE  PCR useful in  Coxiella burnetii  Tropheryma whipplei  Bartonella henselae 6/25/2023 63
  • 64. Procalcitonin  116 amino acid peptide  No known hormonal activity  Under normal metabolic conditions, PCT is only present in the C cell of the thyroid gland  In sepsis it is released to circulation  Values exceeding 2.3 ng/ml in a suspected case of IE has a sensitivity of 81 %& specificity of 85 %.  More valuable than CRP in Sepsis 6/25/2023 64
  • 65. Treatment of IE  Native vs. Prosthetic Valve  Bactericidal therapy is necessary  Eradication of bacteria in the vegetation  May be metabolically inactive (stationary phase)  May need higher concentrations of antimicrobial agents 6/25/2023 65
  • 66. Antimicrobial Therapy  Blood culture become sterile within 2 days  Fever resolves in 4 to 7 days  If fever persists despite 7 days of antibiotics evaluate for paravalvular or extracardiac abscess  Combination therapy most important for  Shorter course regimens  Enterococcal endocarditis  Prosthetic valve infections 6/25/2023 66
  • 67. Streptococci susceptible to pencillin 6/25/2023 67
  • 73. NVE  Fungal  Amphotericin  Fluconazole  Caspofungin (little data)  Surgery usually necessary 1-2 weeks into treatment 6/25/2023 73
  • 74. Prosthetic Valve IE  Staphylococci most common  Coagulase negative staphylococci  Enterococcus  Nutritonally variant streptococci  Fungi 6/25/2023 74
  • 75. OTHER ORGANISMS Streptococcus pneumoniae • Penicillin if sensitive- can be treated with intravenous penicillin • Cftriaxone (2 g/d as a single dose), or cefotaxime (at a comparable dosage). • Infection caused by penicillin resistant strains should be treated with vancomycin. 6/25/2023 75
  • 76.  P. aeruginosa endocarditis is treated with an antipseudomonal penicillin (ticarcillin or piperacillin) and high doses of tobramycin (8 mg/kg per day in three divided doses).  Endocarditis caused by Enterobacteriaceae is treated with a potent beta-lactam antibiotic plus an aminoglycoside. 6/25/2023 76
  • 77. • Corynebacterial endocarditis is treated with penicillin plus an aminoglycoside (if the organism is susceptible to the aminoglycoside) or with vancomycin. • Therapy for Candida endocarditis consists of amphotericin B plus flucytosine and early surgery; long-term suppression with fluconazole is also used. 6/25/2023 77
  • 78. Empirical Therapy • Therapy without culture data (i.e., before culture results are known or when cultures are negative). • For acute endocarditis in an injection drug user should cover methicillin-resistant S. aureus and gram-negative bacilli. • The initiation of treatment with vancomycin plus gentamicin immediately after blood is obtained for cultures covers these as well as many other potential causes. 6/25/2023 78
  • 79. • In culture-negative -marantic endocarditis must be excluded and fastidious organisms sought serologically. • In the absence of prior antibiotic therapy, it is unlikely to be due to S. aureus, coagulase- negative staphylococcal, or enterococcal. • Blood culture–negative subacute native valve endocarditis is treated with ceftriaxone plus gentamicin. • These two antimicrobials plus vancomycin should be used if prosthetic valves are involved. 6/25/2023 79
  • 80.  Serologic abnormalities (e.g.ESR , RF) resolve slowly and do not reflect response to treatment.  Vegetations become smaller with effective therapy, but at 3 months after cure half are unchanged and 25% are slightly larger. 6/25/2023 80

  • 84. Reasons for 2007 Revision  IE more likely due to frequent exposure to random bacteremias from daily activities than from bacteremia during dental/GI/GU procedure  Prophylaxis may prevent only small number of cases of IE, even if 100% effective  Risk of antibiotic-assoc. adverse events exceeds the benefit, if any, from prophylaxis  To reduce the risk of bacteremia from dental procedure: maintaining good oral health and hygiene is more important than Antibiotic prophylaxis 6/25/2023 84
  • 85. Frequency of Transient Bacteremia  Tooth extraction 10-100%  Periodontal surgery 36-88%  Teeth cleaning 40%  Tooth brushing, 20-68%  Using wooden toothpicks 20-40%  Chewing food 7-51% 6/25/2023 85
