After completion of antibiotic therapy, patients should be educated about the importance of daily dental hygiene, regular visits to the dentist, and the need for antibiotic prophylaxis before certain procedures. The incidence of endocarditis is approximately 5 to 7.9 cases per 100,000 persons per year in the United States,1 and has been stable over time. Endocarditis in persons who use injection drugs is likely to be right-sided; therefore, septic pulmonary emboli are common, whereas manifestations of endocarditis (e.g., splinter and conjunctival hemorrhages) are less likely.10 Because blood cultures in these patients are usually positive, it is appropriate to draw blood in febrile patients and consider starting empiric antibiotics, depending on the clinical severity of illness.9,10, Nosocomial infectious endocarditis is defined as a new diagnosis of infectious endocarditis made three to 60 days after admission to a hospital or long-term care unit, during which there was risk of bacteremia.

Currently, no consensus exists regarding duration of post-surgical antibiotics among patients undergoing surgical valve replacement for IE treatment. Endocarditis should be suspected in patients with unexplained fevers, night sweats, or signs of systemic illness. Martín-Dávila P, Early infection, which occurs within two months of valve placement, is generally the result of intraoperative contamination of the prosthesis or of postoperative infection.

Counting days of duration of therapy should start on the first day on which blood cultures (BCs) were negative in cases in which initial BCs were positive At least 2 sets of BCs should be obtained every 24-48 hours until bloodstream infection is cleared At least two sets of blood cultures should be obtained every 24 to 48 hours until the infection has cleared the bloodstream.17, The structural and functional integrity of cardiac valves may be damaged by infection.7 This may lead to valvular regurgitation or flow obstruction in valves with large vegetations.7 Surgery may need to be considered in selected patients; the benefits are greatest in patients with the most indications.18 Surgical intervention should be considered in patients with fungal infection, infection with aggressive antibiotic-resistant bacteria or bacteria that respond poorly to antibiotics, left-sided infectious endocarditis caused by gram-negative bacteria, persistent infection with positive blood cultures after one week of antibiotic therapy, or one or more embolic events during the first two weeks of antibiotic therapy.17 Surgical intervention is warranted for valve dehiscence, perforation, rupture or fistula, or a large perivalvular abscess.17 Periannular extension of infection into the myocardium is associated with increased mortality and should be suspected in patients presenting with new atrioventricular block.7, Anticoagulation in patients with infectious endocarditis is controversial, particularly in those with mechanical valve endocarditis.

Baseline electrocardiography should be performed in patients with infectious endocarditis so that new cardiac manifestations can be recognized early (e.g., extension of valvular disease into the conduction system, ischemia secondary to emboli to the coronary circulation).3 If tricuspid valve endocarditis is suspected in persons who use injection drugs, chest radiography may reveal evidence of septic pulmonary emboli.

Sande MA, Lee BL, Mills J, Chambers HF. Preexisting structural abnormalities of the heart are present in 75 percent of patients with infectious endocarditis.5 Historically, rheumatic heart disease was the most common cardiac abnormality in infectious endocarditis6; however, degenerative lesions such as mitral valve prolapse are becoming an increasingly prevalent cause.5 Aortic valve disease and congenital heart disease in the setting of bacteremia are also common risk factors.      Print. 12.
