** Other streptococci
** [[Enterococci]]
** [[HACEK group]]
** [[Coxiella]]
** [[Brucella]]
* [[Fungi]]
** ''[[Candidal endocarditis|Candida]]''


===Microbiology===
== Clinical Manifestations ==
* Refer to [[Modified Duke criteria]]
* Specific organisms may be associated with specific risk factors
** Injection drug use: [[Viridans group streptococci]] and ''[[Pseudomonas aeruginosa]]''
** Colon cancer: ''[[Streptococcus bovis]]'' and ''[[Clostridium septicum]]''

===Risk Factors===

*Cardiac
**Prior endocarditis
**Prosthetic heart valve or implanted device
**Congenital heart disease, especially unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease
**Valve abnormalities, including acquired valvular dysfunction (e.g. from [[rheumatic heart disease]]), [[hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]], [[bicuspid aortic valve]], and [[mitral valve prolapse]] (especially with valvular regurgitation or thickened leaflets)
*Non-cardiac
**Intravenous drug use
**Indwelling intravenous lines
**Immunosuppression
**Recent dental work or surgical procedure associated with bacteremia

==Clinical Manifestations==

*In general, symptoms are fever, chills, and malaise in a patient at risk for endocarditis
*Tends to progress rapidly
*May have a new murmur, stroke syndrome, pulmonary embolism, arthralgias
*Specific organisms may be associated with specific risk factors
**Injection drug use: [[Viridans group streptococci]] and ''[[Pseudomonas aeruginosa]]''
**Colon cancer: [[Streptococcus gallolyticus subspecies gallolyticus|''Streptococcus gallolyticus'' subspecies ''gallolyticus'']] and ''[[Clostridium septicum]]''

===Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis===

*Insidious onset with more pronounced constitutional symptoms progressing over weeks to months

==Differential Diagnosis==

*Non-infectious causes of endocarditis
**[[Acute rheumatic fever]]
**[[Libman-Sacks endocarditis]]
**[[Rheumatoid arthritis]]
**[[Marantic endocarditis]]
**[[Löeffler endocarditis]]
*Any cause of fever or consitutional symptoms

==Diagnosis==

*Based on a combination of clinical exam, laboratory investigations, and ultrasound
**Refer to [[Modified Duke criteria]] or [[ESC 2015 modified criteria for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis]]
**[[C-reactive protein]] is fairly sensitive, while [[rheumatoid factor]] is fairly specific and decreases with treatment
*FDG-PET cardiac imaging is a new imaging modality
**Can be useful when TEE and CTA are inconclusive, and may be able to diagnose IE earlier than those other modalities
***May be most helpful in cases of prosthetic valves or other cardiac hardware
**However, it is non-specific, and cannot differentiate between infection and inflammation
***In these cases, a tagged WBC scan with SPECT can be helpful
**False positives with inadequate preparation, or other inflammatory disorders
***Most commonly is patients getting glucose (including in IV therapies) during the fasting period
**False negatives can be from very small lesion, or several weeks of antibiotics (needs to be off fo r2 to 4 weeks)
**To request, should have TEE done beforehand, then fax special access request to Ottawa
***Response within 24-48 hours, with imaging to be done at local PET (St. Joseph's)

==Management==

*Varies by causative organism and prosthetic vs. native valve
*In patients who are in [[acute heart failure]], may need to consider [[antibiotics in sodium restriction|the sodium content of the antibiotics used]]

===Indications for Early Surgery===

*Early valve surgery (that is, before discharge and completion of antibiotics) is recommended in some scenarios
*Left-sided endocarditis
**Acute heart failure
**Fungal endocarditis
**Highly-resistant organisms
**Heart block, annular or aortic abscess, or perforating valve lesion
**Bacteremia or fever lasting more than 5-7 days despite appropriate antimicrobials
**Severe valvular regurgitation and mobile vegetations >1 cm
**Prosthetic valve endocarditis with recurrent emboli despite appropriate antimicrobials
**Relapsed prosthetic valve endocarditis
*Right-sided endocarditis
**Severe tricuspid valve regurgitation with right heart failure despite medical therapy
**Persistent infection with difficult-to-treat organisms
**Tricuspid valve vegetation >2 cm
**Recurrent pulmonary emboli despite appropriate antimicrobials

=== Early Oral Therapy ===

* The [https://www.wikijournalclub.org/wiki/POET POET study] showed non-inferiority of early oral antibiotics (after 7 to 10 days of IV antibiotics) compared to traditional IV antibiotics for the treatment of left-sided endocarditis[[CiteRef::iversen2019pa]]
** No patient had [[MRSA]]
** All oral therapies included two antibiotics to which the isolate was susceptible
* The regimens in the study were:
** Penicillin-susceptible [[staphylococci]]: ([[amoxicillin]] or [[linezolid]]) plus ([[rifampin]] or [[fusidic acid]])
** Methicillin-susceptible [[staphylococci]]: ([[dicloxacillin]] or [[linezolid]]) plus ([[rifampin]] or [[fusidic acid]])
** Methicillin-resistant [[coagulase-negative staphylococci]]: [[linezolid]] plus ([[rifampin]] or [[fusidic acid]])
** [[Enterococcus faecalis]]: [[amoxicillin]] plus [[rifampin]], or [[linezolid]] plus ([[rifampin]] or [[moxifloxacin]])
** Penicillin-susceptible [[streptococci]] (MIC <1): [[amoxicillin]] plus [[rifampin]], or [[linezolid]] plus ([[rifampin]] or [[moxifloxacin]])
** Penicillin-resistant [[streptococci]] (MIC ≥1): [[linezolid]] plus [[rifampin]], or [[moxifloxacin]] plus ([[rifampin]] or [[clindamycin]])
* Doses were:
** [[Amoxicillin]] 1 g p.o. four times daily
** [[Clindamycin]] 600 mg p.o. three times daily
** [[Dicloxacillin]] 1 g p.o. q6h
** [[Fusidic acid]] 750 mg p.o. twice daily
** [[Linezolid]] 600 mg p.o. twice daily
** [[Moxifloxacin]] 400 mg p.o. daily
** [[Rifampin]] 600 mg p.o. twice daily
* A retrospective cohort study of people who inject drugs confirmed that these findings are likely generalizable to PWID[[CiteRef::wildenthal2022ou]]
** Details of the regimens are not available, but included primarily [[doxycycline]], [[TMP-SMX]], and [[linezolid]], as well as some beta-lactams, either as monotherapy or as combination therapy
* Another cohort study has shown that it can be effectively operationalized[[CiteRef::freling2023re]]
** Indications for step-down to oral therapy, which could take from a few days to a few weeks:
*** Clinically stable with no indication for cardiac surgery
*** Bacteremia is cleared
*** No concern regarding GI absorption
*** No psychosocial concerns where IV would be preferable
*** An appropriate oral antibiotic was available, based on in vitro susceptibility testing and published clinical data
** Recommended oral antibiotics:
*** [[Amoxicillin]] 1 g p.o. every 6 hours
*** [[Co-trimoxazole]] 960 mg/4800 mg p.o. total daily dose, divided
*** [[Dicloxacillin]] 1 g p.o. q6h
*** [[Levofloxacin]] 750 mg p.o. daily
*** [[Linezolid]] 600 mg p.o. twice daily
*** [[Moxifloxacin]] 400 mg p.o. daily
*** [[Rifampin]] 600 mg p.o. daily; preferred as second agent in prosthetic valve endocarditis

==Prevention==

*Prophylaxis is recommended for high-risk patients who are undergoing higher-risk procedures
**High-risk patients include:
***Prosthetic heart valve
***Previous infective endocarditis
***Unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease, or repaired within the past six months with prosthetic material in situ, or repaired with residual defect and with material in situ
***Cardiac transplantation with valvulopathy
**High-risk procedures include:
***Dental procedures with manipulation of the gingiva or periapical region of teeth, perforation of mucosa
****This includes professional cleaning procedures
***Procedures involving incision of respiratory mucosa, including tonsillectomy and bronchoscopic biopsy
***Procedures on infected tissue (skin, bone, joint, etc)

Background

  • Infection of endocardium, generally involving the heart valves, either prosthetic or native

Microbiology

Risk Factors

  • Cardiac
  • Non-cardiac
    • Intravenous drug use
    • Indwelling intravenous lines
    • Immunosuppression
    • Recent dental work or surgical procedure associated with bacteremia

Clinical Manifestations

Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis

  • Insidious onset with more pronounced constitutional symptoms progressing over weeks to months

Differential Diagnosis

Diagnosis

  • Based on a combination of clinical exam, laboratory investigations, and ultrasound
  • FDG-PET cardiac imaging is a new imaging modality
    • Can be useful when TEE and CTA are inconclusive, and may be able to diagnose IE earlier than those other modalities
      • May be most helpful in cases of prosthetic valves or other cardiac hardware
    • However, it is non-specific, and cannot differentiate between infection and inflammation
      • In these cases, a tagged WBC scan with SPECT can be helpful
    • False positives with inadequate preparation, or other inflammatory disorders
      • Most commonly is patients getting glucose (including in IV therapies) during the fasting period
    • False negatives can be from very small lesion, or several weeks of antibiotics (needs to be off fo r2 to 4 weeks)
    • To request, should have TEE done beforehand, then fax special access request to Ottawa
      • Response within 24-48 hours, with imaging to be done at local PET (St. Joseph's)

linezolid +/- rifampin
co-trimoxazole
dicloxacillin + rifampin
MRSA and CoNS levofloxacin + (rifampin or linezolid)

Prevention

  • Prophylaxis is recommended for high-risk patients who are undergoing higher-risk procedures
    • High-risk patients include:
      • Prosthetic heart valve
      • Previous infective endocarditis
      • Unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease, or repaired within the past six months with prosthetic material in situ, or repaired with residual defect and with material in situ
      • Cardiac transplantation with valvulopathy
    • High-risk procedures include:
      • Dental procedures with manipulation of the gingiva or periapical region of teeth, perforation of mucosa
        • This includes professional cleaning procedures
      • Procedures involving incision of respiratory mucosa, including tonsillectomy and bronchoscopic biopsy
      • Procedures on infected tissue (skin, bone, joint, etc)
  • Antibiotic options are:
    • Amoxicillin 2 g PO once, 30-60 minutes prior to procedure
    • If allergy: clindamycin 600 mg PO once, 30-60 minutes prior to procedure
