Endocarditis
Is an infection of the inner lining of the heart (endocardium).The infection usually involves one or more heart valves which are part of the endocardium

Classification
Clinically divided according to its duration
1. Acute bacterial endocarditis Affect normal valves
Occur over days or weeks
Staphylococcus aureus
High virulence
![Page 4: Infective endocarditis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062223/589e0f2e1a28ab67278b65fb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. Subacute bacterial endocarditis
Often affect damaged valves Caused by streptococci of low virulence Mild to moderate illness which progresses slowly over weeks and months• Has low propensity to hematogenously seed extracardiac sites.

New classification that is based on
The causative microorganism \
The type of valve that is infected Native valve endocarditis [NVE] Prosthetic valve endocarditis [PVE] Source of infection
Community-acquired Hospital-acquired whether the patient is an intravenous drug user (IVDU)

Causes
Many microorganisms can cause infective endocarditis
Streptococci viridans Alpha-hemolytic streptococci, Present in the mouth are the most frequently isolated micro-organisms
Enterococcus Enter the blood stream as a consequence of abnormalities in the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts
![Page 8: Infective endocarditis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062223/589e0f2e1a28ab67278b65fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Staphylococcus aureus They can enter the blood stream through procedures that cause break in the integrity of skin like surgery
Fungal and Viral Fungi are seen less frequently.
Candida albicans, yeast, Associated with endocarditis in IV drug users.

Risk factors
Congenital heart defectsArtificial heart valvesHistory of endocarditis(Chronic rheumatic heart disease)History of intravenous (IV) illegal drug use, cause contamination

The organism may enter the bloodstream through:
• Everyday oral activities Brushing the teethChewing food can especially if the teeth and gums aren't healthy An infection or other medical conditionSkin soreGum disease Intestinal disorder such as inflammatory bowel disease Certain dental procedures (Gingivectomy)

Investigations
Blood culturesThree separate sets of blood cultures from different sites obtained over a 24-hour period
EchocardiographyAs soon as possible (ideally within 24 hours) Transthoracic echocardiogram Transesophageal
To show the presence and size of vegetations
![Page 25: Infective endocarditis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062223/589e0f2e1a28ab67278b65fb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Vegetation (Arrow )on the tricuspid valve by echocardiography.

Diagnostic criteria
Duke criteria
Collection of major and minor criteria used to establish a diagnosis of infective endocarditis (Established in 1994 by the Duke Endocarditis Service)
![Page 29: Infective endocarditis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062223/589e0f2e1a28ab67278b65fb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The diagnosis according to this criteria could be
Definite, possible, or rejected
One of these pathological criteria
Histology or culture of a cardiac vegetation, an embolized vegetation, or intracardiac abscess from the heart finds microorganisms
Active endocarditis
![Page 30: Infective endocarditis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062223/589e0f2e1a28ab67278b65fb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• One of these combinations of clinical criteria
2 major clinical criteria
1 major and 3 minor criteria
5 minor criteria
![Page 31: Infective endocarditis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062223/589e0f2e1a28ab67278b65fb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Major criteria
Positive findings on echocardiography
Positive blood culture with typical IE microorganism
![Page 32: Infective endocarditis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062223/589e0f2e1a28ab67278b65fb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Minor criteria
• Predisposing heart condition or IV drug use• Fever >38°C• Janeway lesions,• conjunctival hemorrhage•, Roth's spots• Rheumatoid factor

Surgery
Valve repair if the damage is less severe
Replacing a damaged valve with an artificial valve.
