Background
- Bacteremia caused by an Enterococcus
- Risk of infective endocarditis of about 17% for Enterococcus faecalis1
Management
DENOVA Score
- Determines need for echocardiography2
- Criteria:
- Duration of symptoms (≥7 days)
- Embolization (clinical or radiographic)
- Number of positive cultures ≥2
- Origin of infection unknown
- Valve disease: native valve disease, previous IE, or the presence of a valve prosthesis
- Auscultation of murmur (any)
- A cutoff of ≥3 had sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 85% for endocarditis
