-* Berge A, Krantz A, Östlund H, Nauclér P, Rasmussen M. [https://doi.org/10.1007/s15010-018-1208-3 The DENOVA score efficiently identifies patients with monomicrobial Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia where echocardiography is not necessary]. ''Infection''. 2019 Feb;47(1):45-50.
-* Determines need for echocardiography
+== Management ==
-* Components:
-** Duration of symptoms (≥7 days)
+===DENOVA Score===
-** Embolization (clinical or radiographic)
-** Number of positive cultures ≥2
+*Determines need for echocardiography[[CiteRef:berge2018th]]
-** Origin of infection unknown
+*Criteria:
-** Valve disease: native valve disease, previous IE, or the presence of a valve prosthesis
-** Auscultation of murmur (any)
+**Duration of symptoms (≥7 days)
+**Embolization (clinical or radiographic)
-* A cutoff of ≥3 had sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 85% for endocarditis
