==Background==
* Infection of heart valves, either prosthetic or native


*Infection of endocardium, generally involving the heart valves, either prosthetic or native
=== Organisms ===
* '''Bacteria'''
** [[Staphylococcus aureus]] (most common)
** [[Viridans group streptococci]]
** [[Coagulase-negative staphylococci]]
** 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]]''


*'''Bacteria'''
== Management ==
**[[Staphylococcus aureus]] (most common)
* Varies by causative organism and prosthetic vs. native valve
**[[Viridans group streptococci]]
* In patients who are in [[acute heart failure]], may need to consider [[antibiotics in sodium restriction|the sodium content of the antibiotics used]]
**[[Coagulase-negative staphylococci]]

**[[Brucella species]]
**[[Legionella species]]
**[[Mycoplasma species]]
**[[Tropheryma whipplei]]
**[[Abiotrophia species]]
**[[Cutibacterium acnes]]

=== Risk Factors ===

* Cardiac
** Prior endocarditis
** Prosthetic heart valve or implanted device
** Congenital heart disease, especially unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease
** Valve abnormalities
* 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
*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 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]]
** [[LΓΆeffler endocarditis]]
* Any cause of fever or consitutional symptoms

==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]]
