For penicillin-allergic (nonanaphylactoid type) patients. Vancomycin is reasonable only for patients unable to tolerate penicillin or ceftriaxone. All of this is aimed at reducing the incidence and magnitude of bacteremia from any manipulation of the gingival tissues, including normal daily events such as brushing teeth and chewing food. The current paradigm includes dedicated, anatomic imaging if there are signs or symptoms suggestive of an embolic event. Neurologic manifestations of infective endocarditis: a 17-year experience in a teaching hospital in Finland. Patients should be educated about the signs of endocarditis and urged to seek immediate medical attention should they develop (Class I; Level of Evidence C). Angiographically monitored resolution of cerebral mycotic aneurysms. Invasive procedures such as percutaneous drainage of soft tissue or organ abscess may be needed. Emboli in infective endocarditis: the prognostic value of echocardiography. 6. After completion of initial parenteral therapy, lifelong suppressive therapy with an oral azole is reasonable (Class IIa; Level of Evidence B). A relationship is considered to be “modest” if it is less than “significant” under the preceding definition. First, the cause of both periodontal disease and caries is bacterial plaque accumulation on teeth, and prevention is dependent on keeping teeth free of plaque. Gentamicin is not recommended because of its nephrotoxicity risks (Class III; Level of Evidence C). In some cases, progressive periannular infection totally disrupts the ventricular-aortic continuity or the mitral-aortic trigone. Neurological complications of infective endocarditis: risk factors, outcome, and impact of cardiac surgery: a multicenter observational study. Perhaps the one that has received the most attention is anti-phospholipid antibody (APA) syndrome,238 which has been described as both a primary and a secondary syndrome and is associated with the presence of APA. Until definitive data are available, the initiation of aspirin or other antiplatelet agents as adjunctive therapy in IE is not recommended. Combination antibiotic therapy with a β-lactam (penicillins, cephalosporins, or carbapenems) and either an aminoglycoside or fluoroquinolone for 6 weeks is reasonable.221 Consultation with an infectious diseases expert in IE should be sought because of the various mechanisms of antibiotic resistance that can be found in the non-HACEK Gram-negative aerobic bacilli. ‡Fluoroquinolones are highly active in vitro against HACEK microorganisms. The size of vegetations is not helpful for predicting perivalvular extension.297 The sensitivity of TTE for detecting perivalvular abscess is low (18% to 63% in prospective and retrospective studies, respectively).305,306 TEE dramatically improves the sensitivity for defining periannular extension of IE (76% to 100%) while retaining excellent specificity (95%) and positive and negative predictive values (87% and 89%, respectively).54,307 When combined with spectral and color Doppler techniques, TEE can demonstrate the distinctive flow patterns of fistulas and pseudoaneurysms and can rule out communications from unruptured abscess cavities. Linezolid for the treatment of patients with endocarditis: a systematic review of the published evidence. Streptococci and S aureus account for 50% and 10% of cases, respectively,317,318 and ICMAs are seen with increased frequency among IDUs with IE.318 The distal middle cerebral artery branches are most often involved, especially the bifurcations. Several other aspects of OPAT such as drug stability at room temperature; frequency of drug dosing; access to ancillary equipment, including ambulatory pumps; insurance coverage; and whether the patient has a history of IDU can all affect the ultimate use of OPAT. Effect of long-term aspirin use on embolic events in infective endocarditis. A link to the “Copyright Permissions Request Form” appears on the right side of the page. J Am Coll Cardiol. *Patients should be informed that intramuscular injection of ceftriaxone is painful. Moreover, the latter study reemphasized the increased risk of embolization with increasing vegetation size during therapy, mitral valve involvement, and staphylococcal pathogenesis. Diagnostic methods for resected valve tissue include microbiological, histopathological, and molecular techniques, the last of which includes gene amplification with PCR methods. Routine blood cultures are not recommended after the completion of antimicrobial therapy because the likelihood of a positive culture result in a patient who is otherwise without evidence of active infection is low (Class III; Level of Evidence C). Typically, only a small fraction of blood culture bottles in patients with HACEK IE demonstrate growth. In part related to findings that demonstrated a salutary effect of intravenous aspirin therapy in established experimental S aureus IE,287 a randomized trial compared oral aspirin 325 mg/d with placebo in 115 IE patients.288 No significant benefit was observed in aspirin-treated patients in terms of vegetation resolution and embolic events. Diagnostic value of echocardiography in suspected endocarditis: an evaluation based on the pretest probability of disease. Over several decades, expert panels have relied on data from observational studies to make recommendations on the indications for early surgery. Impact of infectious diseases service consultation on diagnosis of infective endocarditis. Hospital mortality was numerically but not significantly higher in the early surgery group (22.4% versus 12%). Relationship between susceptibility to daptomycin in vitro and activity in vivo in a rabbit model of aortic valve endocarditis. Experimental bacterial endocarditis, II: survival of a bacteria in endocardial vegetations. Aortic valve infection: risk factors for death and recurrent endocarditis after aortic valve replacement. Management of multidrug-resistant enterococcal infections. Thus, firm conclusions cannot be drawn from this trial on the effect of early surgery on mortality, given the small sample size of the study. Over recent years, new evidence has led a rethinking of the available guidance on the diagnosis and management of infective endocarditis (IE). On the other hand, certain therapeutic agents, including aminoglycosides, have potentially toxic effects that dictate limitation or avoidance of use if at all possible. The choice of diagnostic procedure (eg, CT, MRI, ultrasonography) varies and the selection should be individualized for each patient (Class I; Level of Evidence C). Chronic antiplatelet therapy and mortality among patients with infective endocarditis. 6. Temporal trends in infective endocarditis in the context of prophylaxis guideline modifications: three successive population-based surveys. Vancomycin therapy is reasonable only for patients unable to tolerate penicillin or ceftriaxone; vancomycin dose should be adjusted to a trough concentration range of 10–15 μg/mL. TEE is useful in identifying MAs of the sinus of Valsalva and thoracic aorta. Third, routine follow-up with their family dentist is necessary for close monitoring of oral hygiene and the early identification and eradication of oral disease. Intracranial MAs (ICMAs) represent a relatively small but extremely dangerous subset of neurological complications. The clinical examination should rule out periodontal inflammation and pocketing around the teeth and caries that will eventually result in pulpal infection. 900 mg/24 h IV/PO in 3 equally divided doses, 3 mg/kg per 24 h IV/IM in 2 or 3 equally divided doses, Native valve: 4-wk therapy recommended for patients with symptoms of illness, 18–30 million U/24 h IV either continuously or in 6 equally divided doses, 3 mg/kg ideal body weight in 2–3 equally divided doses. A focus on all 4 measures should help to reduce the incidence of bacteremia and the risk for recurrent IE. Current evidence suggests that poor oral hygiene and periodontal diseases, not dental office procedures, are likely to be responsible for the vast majority of cases of IE that originate in the mouth.328. Modification of the diagnostic criteria proposed by the Duke Endocarditis Service to permit improved diagnosis of Q fever endocarditis. Sep 15, 2005 Issue AHA Scientific Statement on Diagnosis and Management of Infective Endocarditis [Practice Guidelines] . Emergence of coagulase-negative staphylococci as a cause of native valve endocarditis. 11. Antibiotic treatment of adults with infective endocarditis due to streptococci, enterococci, staphylococci, and HACEK microorganisms: American Heart Association. Another controversial topic is whether imaging to detect emboli should be performed in all IE patients. Ceftriaxone has commonly been used to treat HACEK IE220 and is reasonable for treatment (Table 16). Early surgery should be done in patients who have persistent bacteremia despite appropriate antibiotic therapy for 5 to 7 days in whom other sites of infection have been excluded (Class I; Level of Evidence B). Outcomes for endocarditis surgery in North America: a simplified risk scoring system. A meta-analysis of medical versus surgical therapy for Candida endocarditis. Improved diagnostic value of echocardiography in patients with infective endocarditis by transoesophageal approach: a prospective study. When feasible, all invasive procedures for the initial management of metastatic foci of infection should be done before valve surgery to reduce the likelihood of infecting a placed prosthetic valve or annuloplasty ring. Consider skin testing for oxacillin-susceptible staphylococci and questionable history of immediate-type hypersensitivity to penicillin. These data support the following recommendations: Valve surgery may be performed in IE patients with stroke or subclinical cerebral emboli without delay if intracranial hemorrhage has been excluded by imaging studies and neurological damage is not severe (ie, coma). Modifiers of symptomatic embolic risk in infective endocarditis [published correction appears in. Retrospective analysis of Duke’s criteria in 60 cases of infective endocarditis in Greece [abstract 138]. Perivalvular extension of infection in patients with infectious endocarditis. Journal of the American Dental Association . Multivariate analysis demonstrated that factors associated with an increased risk of death included moderate to severe heart failure, PVE, and urgent or emergency surgical intervention. Prevention of infective endocarditis: Guidelines from the American Heart Association. Daptomycin in the treatment of patients with infective endocarditis: experience from a registry. Whether recurrent, asymptomatic emboli detected on advanced imaging studies should influence decision making should be considered on an individual basis. Sy RW, Kritharides L. Health care exposure and age in infective endocarditis: results of a contemporary population-based profile of 1536 patients in Australia. Investigations have suggested better outcomes for IE patients with ischemic stroke who undergo early cardiac surgery.268–272 Ruttmann et al270 analyzed 65 patients who underwent cardiac surgery after cardioembolic (embolic) stroke (median time, 4 days; range, 0–38 days). The largest early series of operated patients with cerebral complications included 181 patients.267 Hospital mortality rates as a function of the interval between evidence of cerebral infarction to cardiac surgery were 66.3% when surgery was performed within 24 hours of stroke and gradually decreased every week to 7.0% with surgery >4 weeks after stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography in right-sided endocarditis. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters: rationale for antibacterial dosing of mice and men. Risk stratification models such as the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Endocarditis Score are available to predict morbidity and mortality risks in IE patients after valve surgery and to assist in decision making and patient counseling.260. 10. 5. The effects of loading changes on intraoperative Doppler assessment of mitral regurgitation. Fourth, no cause was defined in 35% of cases. The appearance of a tender, pulsatile mass in a patient with IE suggests an extracranial MA. Clinical presentation, etiology, and outcome of infective endocarditis in the 21st century: the International Collaboration on Endocarditis-Prospective Cohort Study. Valve surgery was performed during the active phase of the disease (during initial hospitalization before completion of a full therapeutic course of antibiotics). Multiple ICMAs occur in 20% of cases319; mortality rates are similar for multiple and single distal ICMAs. 1-800-AHA-USA-1 2017;70:2795-804. The presence of infection-related antiphospholipid antibodies in infective endocarditis determines a major risk factor for embolic events. Successful therapy of experimental chronic foreign-body infection due to methicillin-resistant, Treatment of experimental foreign body infection caused by methicillin-resistant. The choice of diagnostic procedure (eg, CT, MRI, ultrasonography) varies and the selection should be individualized for each patient (Class I; Level of Evidence C). Improvement in the diagnosis of abscesses associated with endocarditis by transesophageal echocardiography. In some cases, progressive periannular infection totally disrupts the ventricular-aortic continuity or the mitral-aortic trigone. 1. 1 Initial guidelines from the AHA were first published over 50 years ago. A referral to a program to assist in the cessation of drug use should be made for IDUs (Class I; Level of Evidence C). Outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) is efficacious, safe, and cost-effective for a variety of infections,323–325 including IE that requires prolonged parenteral therapy in hospitalized patients who otherwise no longer require inpatient care but do require continued parenteral antimicrobial therapy. Only 1 study examined the role of valve surgery in PVE.259 After adjustment for differences in clinical characteristics and survival bias, early valve replacement was not associated with lower mortality compared with medical therapy in the overall cohort. Early surgery is reasonable for patients with PVE who have recurrent emboli despite appropriate antibiotic treatment (Class IIa; Level of Evidence B). Activities of daptomycin and vancomycin alone and in combination with rifampin and gentamicin against biofilm-forming methicillin-resistant, Comparison of two beta-lactamase-producing strains of. Patients with IE should first be evaluated and stabilized in the hospital before being considered for outpatient therapy (Class I; Level of Evidence C). In aortic NVE, this generally occurs through the weakest portion of the annulus, which is near the membranous septum and atrioventricular node.299 The anatomic vulnerability of this area explains both why abscesses occur in this location and why heart block is a frequent sequela.300 Periannular extension is common, occurring in 10% to 40% of all NVE and complicating aortic IE more commonly than mitral or tricuspid IE.301–304 Periannular infection is of even greater concern with PVE, occurring in 56% to 100% of patients.298,302 Perivalvular abscesses are particularly common with prosthetic valves because the annulus, rather than the leaflet, is the usual primary site of infection, especially in early PVE and on bioprosthetic valves.302. Blood culture positivity: suppression by outpatient antibiotic therapy in patients with bacterial endocarditis. Transthoracic echocardiography is still useful in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected infective endocarditis: evaluation of a large cohort at a tertiary referral center. Combination antibiotic therapy in staphylococcal endocarditis: the use of methicillin sodium-gentamicin sulfate therapy. 9. The empirical combination of vancomycin and a β-lactam for staphylococcal bacteremia. Reintroduction of anticoagulation in these patients should be done with great caution, beginning with intravenous unfractionated heparin titrated to an activated partial thromboplastin time range of 50 to 70 seconds and transitioning carefully to adjusted dose warfarin. During the period between the collection of blood cultures and the determination of a pathogen or if blood cultures are ultimately deemed culture negative, empirical therapy is generally required. Ampicillin sodium may be an option if the growth of the isolate is sufficient to permit in vitro susceptibility results. For example, several of these bacteria may harbor “inducible β-lactamases” that could require supplemental laboratory screening, in addition to routine in vitro susceptibility testing. In other cases, tissue (usually valve) screening is required. Circulation. The use and effect of surgical therapy for prosthetic valve infective endocarditis: a propensity analysis of a multicenter, international cohort. Second, serological results were positive in 47.7% of cases, primarily for Coxiella and Bartonella species infection. Linezolid therapy for infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis in patients with negative blood cultures: analysis of 88 cases from a one-year nationwide survey in France. Endocarditis-associated paravalvular abscesses: do clinical parameters predict the presence of abscess? Pharmacodynamics of daptomycin in a murine thigh model of, Clinical practice guidelines by the Infectious Diseases Society of America for the treatment of methicillin-resistant. The relationship between cerebrovascular complications and previously established use of antiplatelet therapy in left-sided infective endocarditis. Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infective endocarditis (new version 2009): the Task Force on the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Infective Endocarditis of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC): endorsed by the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) and the International Society of Chemotherapy (ISC) for Infection and Cancer. Transthoracic echocardiography is still useful in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected infective endocarditis: evaluation of a large cohort at a tertiary referral center. Clinical practice: infective endocarditis [published correction appears in. For patients with a subacute (weeks) presentation of NVE, empirical coverage of S aureus, VGS, HACEK, and enterococci is reasonable. PVE, NVE with symptoms >3 mo, or treatment with a double β-lactam regimen require a minimum of 6 wk of therapy. Outpatient management of infective endocarditis. Results of a meta-analysis that included 879 cases of Candida IE demonstrated a marked reduction in death (prevalence odds ratio, 0.56; 95% confidence interval, 0.16–1.99) among those who underwent adjunctive valve surgery.244 In addition, patients who were treated with combination therapy including amphotericin B and flucytosine had reduced mortality compared with those who received antifungal monotherapy. If feasible, a thorough dental evaluation is reasonable, especially in patients deemed likely to require valve replacement, with all active sources of oral infection eradicated. Differences in 1-year mortality were less pronounced, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.138 (95% confidence interval, 0.802–1.650). Gentamicin is no longer recommended because of its nephrotoxicity risks. Observational studies of salvage treatment for persistent bacteremia: beware of survivor treatment selection bias. In particular, should MRI of the brain be obtained in all IE patients because cerebral emboli are so commonplace? Under the influence of systemic intravascular pressures, abscesses may progress to fistulous tracts that create intracardiac or pericardial shunts. Evaluation of the Duke criteria versus the Beth Israel criteria for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis. No randomized trials have addressed this conundrum. 7272 Greenville Ave. Collection of additional clinical and laboratory data often dictates subsequent revisions in initial empirical therapy that will be administered over the treatment course. Streptococcal endocarditis: the viridans and beta-hemolytic streptococci. This should occur when the patient is able to travel to a dental facility (Class I; Level of Evidence C). In addition to physical examination, echocardiographic findings can support this diagnosis. Ampicillin 2 g IV every 4 h is a reasonable alternative to penicillin if a penicillin shortage exists. Inpatients with IE should be thoroughly evaluated by a dentist to identify and eliminate oral diseases that predispose to bacteremia and may therefore contribute to the risk for recurrent IE (Class I; Level of Evidence C). Reintroduction of anticoagulation in these patients should be done with great caution, beginning with intravenous unfractionated heparin titrated to an activated partial thromboplastin time range of 50 to 70 seconds and transitioning carefully to adjusted dose warfarin. Antibiotics prescribed for nonspecific or unproved febrile syndromes are a major cause of (blood) culture-negative IE, and this practice should be strongly discouraged. An increase in vegetation size over 4 to 8 weeks of therapy as documented by TEE appears to predict embolic events.282 In addition, a second, albeit infrequent, peak of late embolic events has been observed to occur 15 to 30 weeks after the diagnosis of IE and has been associated with nonhealing vegetations (failure of a vegetation to stabilize or diminish in size) as defined by echocardiography.63. In addition, prescribing empirical antimicrobial therapy should be avoided for an undefined febrile illness unless the patient’s clinical condition (eg, sepsis) warrants empirical therapy. It is noteworthy that healthcare exposure was associated with the development of IE caused by this group of organisms in 57% of patients. The following criteria are essential for an effective OPAT program: A reliable support system at home and easy access to a hospital for prompt re-evaluation by an experienced clinician if a complication such as recurrence of fever, symptoms of a cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, or a neurological event develops, Regular visits by a home infusion nurse who carefully monitors the patient for early detection of complications, failure to respond to therapy, problems with adherence to therapy, or complications (eg, catheter-related infection, catheter leakage or displacement, venous thrombosis) directly related to the antibiotics or intravenous access, Regular visits with an experienced clinician to assess clinical status during the OPAT. There is a prevailing opinion that valve surgery is crucial for optimal therapy in selected patients with complicated IE.247–249 In a systematic review5 of 15 population-based IE investigations from 7 countries, after adjustment for country, the proportion of IE cases undergoing valve surgery increased 7% per decade (95% confidence interval, −0.4% to 14%; P=0.06) between 1969 and 2000. The timing of valve surgery in IE patients with stroke remains controversial.
