  • TEE 2 מסות מוביליות היוצאות מבסיס משותף בעלה מיטרלי אחורי, נראות כוגטציות. גודלן 1.7 ס"מ. יתכן שיש פרפורציה בבסיס הממצא
5
Diagnosis
  • A disease with variable presentation
    • Host (old vs young)
    • Bacteria (acute vs sub-acute)
    • valve) Rt. vs Lt.)
6
Clinical suspicion!!
  • Prolonged fever
  • Embolic phenomena
  • Fever in a patent with prosthetic valve, or previous endocarditis.


  • Blood cultures
7
Optimal number of blood cultures
  • One?
    1. Does not maximize the chance of isolating an organism (99% with two)
    Volume is important-> 20ml/ set
    2. Can not demonstrate the presence of continuous bacteremia
    3. Can not distinguish contamination from true bacteremia
  • Two to three in native valve
  • Four in prosthetic valve (“colonizers” can be true pathogens)
8

"Clinical suspicionà"
  • Clinical suspicionà Empiric therapy


  • Rapid diagnosisà Identify pt at high risk for complications who might need early surgery


  • High suspicion and TTE negative proceed to TEE
22
Antibiotic therapy
  • Blood culture should be obtained every 24-48h.
  • Counting days of therapy from the first day of negative blood cultures.
  • Maximal doses of antibiotics
23
Viridians group strep (α-hemolytic)
  • Common cause of community acquired native valve endocarditis.
  • Usually not on normal valve
  • Sub-acute presentation
  • Heterogeneous group
    • S sanguis, S oralis, S salivarius
    • S milleri (S anginosus)- tends to form abcesses
    • Nutritionally variant strep (Abiotrophia defective, Granulicatella) more difficulte to grow in lab
24
Treatment based on MIC to penicillin
  • Highly susceptible (MIC<0.12)
    • 4 w of Pen G or Ceftriaxone
    • 2 w of Pen G or Ceftriaxone+ Gent once daily (recommended only to low risk for AEs, not recommended to pt with extracardiac infection)
  • MIC>0.12, <0.5
    • 4 weeks of Pen G or Ceftriaxone+ 2w gent
  • MIC> 0.5
    • Like Enterococcal endocarditis
25
S. aureus Endocarditis
  • Endocarditis in 26% of patients with SAB
  • May attack normal heart
  • Frequently fulminant course (Lt side endocarditis)
  • Mortality 20-65%
  • Heart failure 20-50%
  • Neurologic manifestations 30%
  • Paravalvular abscesses are more common in S aureus IE- TEE for evaluation
26
"Most common pathogen in Rt..."
  • Most common pathogen in Rt side endocarditis
  • At risk population: IVDU
  • Presentation: cough, pleuritic chest pain, dispnea
  • Chest XR: Multiple rounded pulmonary infiltrate
  • Better prognosis


27
S. Aureus Bacteremia
  • Third of the pt with SAB develop complications
  • Risk factors for metastatic dis.:
  • Cardiac valvular dis
  • Prostatic implants( 34% of SAB and PV,
  •    45% of SAB and pacemaker, 34% of SAB and orthopedic devices developed infection of the device)
  • Community – acquired
  • Older age(>65 attributable mortality 14.5% vs. 6.3%
28
TEE in SAB
  • Prosthetic valve
  • Prolonged bacteremia
  • Persistent symptoms
  • New cardiac conductions abnormalities
  • Community acquired SAB
  • TTE non diagnostic


29
Treatment-MSSA
  • Uncomplicated infection-native valve- 4 w of Orbenin 2grX6, or cefazolin 2grX3 (gent in the first 3-5 days)
  • With complications (perivalvular abscess, septic emboli)- 6w of therapy.
  • Prostetic valve – 6 weeks+ 2w gent
30
MRSA
  • Increasing in hospitals
  • Greater morbidity and mortality
  • Lower rates of bacteriological cure
  • Vancomycin –treatment of choice
  • Poor outcome including with MIC within susceptible range (<4)
  • Cure with MIC< 0.5 in 56% of pt
                   MIC 1-2   in 9% of pt


31
"Combination with rifampin resulted in..."
  • Combination with rifampin resulted in prolongation of bacteremia
  • Combination with gent. resulted in increased nephrotoxicity
32
Enterococci
  • Normal inhabitants of GI tract and urethra
  • Usually a subacute presentation
  • The mean duration of nonspecific symptoms (malaise, fatigue) was 140 days
  • Affects older men
  • Greater than 40% of pt have no underlying heart dis


  • Intrinsically resistant bacteria


33
Treatment
  • “Sensitive enterococci”
  • Ampicillin 2grX6 + gent 80mgX3 (or streptomycin) for 4-6 weeks


  • In 5y nationwide prospective a study from Sweden of 93 episodes of enterococcal endocarditis: overall cure rate  of pt treated with 2-3 w of gent was comparable to longer treatment duration.


34
"Resistant to pen- Vanco+"
  • Resistant to pen- Vanco+ gent for 6 w
  • Enterococcus faecium resistant to pen+vanco+gent- Linezolid for >8w
  • Enterococcus faecalis resistant to pen+vanco+gent- Ceftriaxon+ Ampicillin for> 8 w
35
“Culture Negative IE”
  • Administration of Abx
  • Rt sided IE, Mural, PVE
  • Fastidious organism:
  • Slow growing: HACEK
  • Diagnosed by serology: Q fever, Bartonella
    Less: Mycoplasma, Legionella, Chlamidia, Brucella
  • Diagnosis delayed- increased risk for valve destruction, higher mortality
  • Fever resolved 1st week 90% survival
  • Fever continue; 50% survival
36
Q Endocarditis
  • Cases evolving from acute Q to chronic:
  • 12 of 1569 (7.6%)
  • Median 6 months (1-18) from onset of acute disease
  • All had preexisting valvular dis.
  • 40% of pt with valvulopathy developed IE
  • All pt with acute Q should be screened for h/o
  • Pt with valvulopathy and fever should be screened for Q fever


37
Fungi
  • Risk Groups
    • IVDU
    • Post reconstructive heart surgery
    • Prolonged antibiotic therapy

    • Poor penetration of drugs
    • Low toxic to therapeutic ratio


39
"Historically:"
  • Historically:
    • Fungal endocarditis a stand-alone indication for surgery
    • Ampho B is the drug of choice
  • Reevaluation in order
    • Mortality is high
    • New drugs are available
40
Complicated Lt side endocarditis in adults-Risk classification for mortality
  • Five baseline features independently associated with 6m mortality:
    • Moderate to severe CHF
    • Comorbidity (charlson score≥2) p=0.3
    • Abnormal mental status p=0.2
    • Bacterial etiology other than S viridans p<0.001
    • Medical therapy without surgery p=0.02

41
CHF
  • In native valve occurs more often in aortic valves (29% vs 20% mitral)
  • The degree of tolerance is valve dependent: acute aortic regurgitation being the least tolerant
  • CHF irrespective of mechanism or course, predict a grave prognosis with medical therapy alone.
42
"A decision to delay surgery..."
  • A decision to delay surgery to extend preoperative antibiotic treatment should be discouraged
  • The incidence of re-infection of newly implanted valve in a pt with active endocarditis is 2-3%.
  • Far less than the mortality for uncontrolled CHF
43
Embolization
  • Systemic embolization occurs in 22-50% of IE
  • Up to 65% of embolic events involve the CNS
  • The highest incidence is seen in aortic and miteral valve IE caused by
    • S Aureus
    • Candida
    • HACEK
44
"Most embolization occur within the..."
  • Most embolization occur within the first 2w of therapy.

  • Perivalvular abscess
  • Membranous VSD
  • Day 4:Transfer to emergency valve replacement
  • Operation results:
  • huge abscess at the root of aorta
  • Septal perforation (false VSD)


51
Periannular extension of infection
  • Predicts higher mortality rate, more frequent CHF, and more frequent cardiac surgery.
  • Occurs in 10-40% of native valve IE
  • In native aortic valve spread through the weakest portion of annulus- near AV node.
  • Heart block is a frequent sequela.
  • In prostetic valve IE occurs in 56-100%
52
"In a study of 51..."
  • In a study of 51 episodes of IE and 24 perivalvular abscesses: among demographic, clinical, and echo findings the only significant correlate of abscess was the presence of AV block


  • New block PPV- 88% for abcsees formation, but low sensitivity (45%)
  • TTE misses up to 50% of abscesses detected by TEE


53
Micotic Aneurysm
  • Septic embolization to arterial vasa vasorum or intraluminal space

55
"ICMA can heal with medical..."
  • ICMA can heal with medical therapy
  • Monitor with serial neuroimaging
  • Sign of enlargement or leakà consider intervention


56
Prophylaxis
57
Reasons for revision of Prophylaxis Guidelines
  • IE is much more likely to result from bacteremias associated daily activities (X2d)
  •   Than bacteremias caused by dental GI or GU procedure (X2y)
  • Prophylaxis may prevent a very small number of cases of IE
  • The risk of antibiotic associated AE exeeds the benefits of prophylaxis


58
Cardiac conditions associated with HR of adverse outcome from IE (Prophylaxis for dental procedure reasonable)
  • PV
  • Previous Endocarditis
  • Congenital Heart Diseases (Urepaired Cyanotic CHD, CHD with prostatic material (first 6m)
  • Cardiac transplantation with valvulopathy
59
Regimens for dental procedure
  • Single dose 30-60m before procedures
  • Ampicillin 2gr
  • Cefazolin 1gr
  • Clinda 600mg
  • Azithro/clarithro 500 mg
