Infective endocarditis
- 1. PROF DR FARHATBASHIR UNITED MEDICAL & DENTAL COLLEGE
- 3. Infection ofthe endocardial surface of heart characterized by - Colonization or invasion of the heart valves (native or prosthetic) or the mural endocardium by a microbe, - leading to formation of bulky, friable vegetation composed of thrombotic debris and organisms - often associated with destruction of underlying cardiac tissue.
- 4. • Heart valves •Ventricular septum defects • Mural endocardium • Intracardiac devices • INFECTIVE ENDARTERITIS – analogous
- 5. Native valveendocarditis Prosthetic valve endocarditis Intravenous drug abuser infective endocarditis Nosocomial endocarditis
- 7. ACUTE ENDOCARDITIS SUBACUTE ENDOCARDITIS Destructiveand tumultuous infection, frequently of a previously normal heart valve, with a highly virulent organism Hematogenous seeding Organisms of low virulence causing infection in a previously abnormal heart, particularly on deformed valves. Disease appear insidiously and pursue a protracted course of weeks to month

- 10. Pathology ◦ NVE(native) infection is largely confined to leaflets ◦ PVE (prosthetic) 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 03-03-2020 12

- 12. Turbulent blood flowwithin the heart - most often (but not always) – patient has risk factors for this Turbulent blood flow disrupts valve surface (endocardium) to produce suitable (sticky) site for bacterial attachment Platelet deposition + fibrin may lead to non-bacterial thrombus or vegetation Bacteraemia – delivers organisms to the damaged (sticky) endocardial surface resulting in adherence & colonisation Eventual invasion of valve leaflets results in infected vegetation (sheath of fibrin & platelets, ideal conditions for further bacterial multiplications, protection from polymorphs) 03-03-2020 14

- 23. CBC ESR CRP Urine DR ECG CXR-PA view Serological tests BLOOD CULTURE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
- 24. Blood cultures: Echocardiography Key diagnostic investigation in infective endocarditis. Isolation of microorganism from culture is important for diagnosis and also for treatment. At least 3 sets of samples should be taken from different venepuncture sites over 24 hours. It can identify the presence and size of vegetations, detect intracardiac complications and assess cardiac function. Transthoracic echocardiography is noninvasive and has high specificity for visualising vegetations. Transesophageal echocardiography is more sensitive than TTE. It can detect small vegetations, prosthetic endocarditis and intra cardiac complications.
- 27. Definitive Endocarditisif, - Two major or, - One major and three minor or, - five minor Possible Endocarditis if, - One major and one minor or, - Three minor
- 28. Positive bloodculture ◦ Typical organism from two cultures ◦ Persistent positive blood cultures taken > 12 hours apart ◦ Three or more positive cultures taken over more than 1 hour. Endocardial involvement ◦ Positive echocardiographic findings of vegetations ◦ New valvular regurgitation ◦ Myocardial abscess ◦ New partial dehiscence of prosthetic valve

Blood cultures suggestive: - organism grown but not achieving major criteria 7. Suggestive echocardiographic findings
- 30. Antimicrobial Therapy Therapyrequires identification of specific pathogen and its susceptibility to antimicrobials. Empirical therapy should be started as soon as possible targeting most likely pathogens. Bactericidal drugs should be used.
- 31. Resolution offever occurs in 5 to 7 days. If fever persists patient should be evaluated for complications like paravalvular abscess and extracardiac abscess. Serologic abnormalities resolve slowly and do not reflect response to treatment.
