=== 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
** 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
** [[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

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)

  • 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

Early Oral Therapy

Prevention

  • Prophylaxis is recommended for high-risk patients who are undergoing higher-risk procedures
  • Patient characteristics
    • 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
  • Procedures
    • 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)
  • Options
