==Investigations==
* Infectious diseases consultation
* Must rule out endocarditis! TTE, followed by TEE if suspicion remains high
* Low risk for endocarditis (no TEE) if all of the following:
** No intracardiac device
** Sterile follow-up blood cultures within 4 days from the initial set
** No hemodialysis
** Nosocomial acquisition of S. aureus
** Absence of secondary foci
** No clinical signs of endocarditis
* Uncomplicated if

** Defervesces within 72 hours
** No evidence of metastases
** +/- identified source has been removed
* Two-week course acceptable if uncomplicated, otherwise 4-6 weeks
* MSSA: cloxacillin 2g IV q4h for 2 weeks (cefazolin as an alternative)

*Transthoracic echo (TTE) or transesophageal echo (TEE)
**A modern TTE that is good-quality and shows normal valves is quite good, though TEE is still better

***[[Meningitis]]
***[[Cardiovascular implantable electronic device infection|Implantable cardiac device]] or [[prosthetic heart valve]]
***Prior [[infective endocarditis]]
***Native valve disease
***Injection drug use
***Persistent bacteremia beyond 72 hours
**Can also use [[VIRSTA score]] to decide if they need TEE[[CiteRef::tubiana2016th]]
***Highest sensitivity (~99%), though specificity only 35%
***The high sensitivity gives very high negative predictive value of ~99%
***Likely preferred to others like the [[PREDICT score]], which has lower sensitivity though higher specificity[[CiteRef::van der vaart2021pr]]

***No hemodialysis
***Nosocomial acquisition
***Absence of secondary foci

=== Antimicrobial Therapy ===
*Two-week course acceptable if uncomplicated, otherwise 4-6 weeks based on clinical course and underlying foci of infection
*MSSA: [[cloxacillin]] 2g IV q4h for 2 weeks ([[cefazolin]] as an alternative)
*MRSA: [[vancomycin]] 1g IV q12h for 2 weeks
**Adjust based on serum trough before every fourth dose
**Target trough 15-20
*Standard of care is still currently IV therapy for the duration, though there is emerging evidence for treating a number of deep-seated infections ([[osteomyelitis]], [[Infective endocarditis|endocarditis]]) with early oral antibiotics, including infections caused by [[Staphylococcus aureus]]

Background

Classification

  • Community-onset: positive blood culture obtained within 48 hours of presentation
  • Nosocomial: positive blood culture obtained after 48 hours of presentation

Etiology

Clinical Manifestations

  • Often non-specific fevers and chills, diagnosed on blood cultures
  • May have back pain unrelated to spinal osteomyelitis
  • May present with focus of metastatic disease

Prognosis

  • Associated with about 30% mortality1
  • Mortality halved by ID consult in observational studies
  • Prognosis worse with
    • Increased age
    • Female sex
    • Pneumonia or source unknown
    • Dementia
    • Increasing comorbidities
    • Shock at time of presentation
    • Institutionalized patient

Investigations

  • Repeat blood cultures every 24 to 48 hours until negative
  • Transthoracic echo (TTE) or transesophageal echo (TEE)
    • A modern TTE that is good-quality and shows normal valves is quite good, though TEE is still better
    • TEE is strongly suggested in certain cases:
    • Can also use VIRSTA score to decide if they need TEE2
      • Highest sensitivity (~99%), though specificity only 35%
      • The high sensitivity gives very high negative predictive value of ~99%
      • Likely preferred to others like the PREDICT score, which has lower sensitivity though higher specificity3

Management

  • Infectious diseases consultation

Echocardiography

  • Must rule out endocarditis! TTE, followed by TEE if suspicion remains high (see VIRSTA score)
    • Low risk for endocarditis (no TEE) if all of the following:
      • No intracardiac device
      • Sterile follow-up blood cultures within 4 days from the initial set
      • No hemodialysis
      • Nosocomial acquisition
      • Absence of secondary foci
      • No clinical signs of endocarditis
    • Uncomplicated if all of the following:
      • Endocarditis is excluded
      • No implanted prostheses
      • Blood cultures clear by 2-4 days
      • Defervesces within 72 hours
      • No evidence of metastases
      • +/- identified source has been removed

Antimicrobial Therapy

  • Two-week course acceptable if uncomplicated, otherwise 4-6 weeks based on clinical course and underlying foci of infection
  • MSSA: cloxacillin 2g IV q4h for 2 weeks (cefazolin as an alternative)
  • MRSA: vancomycin 1g IV q12h for 2 weeks
    • Adjust based on serum trough before every fourth dose
    • Target trough 15-20
  • Standard of care is still currently IV therapy for the duration, though there is emerging evidence for treating a number of deep-seated infections (osteomyelitis, endocarditis) with early oral antibiotics, including infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus
