Chapter 155 - The Skin In Infective Endocarditis, Sepsis, Septic Shock, and DIC Flashcards
Most common cause of right sided infective endorcarditis
IV drug use
80% of cases of infective endocarditis
Staphylococcal
Streptococcal
Enterococcal
10th leading cause of death in US for all races and sexes at age 45 years and older
Sepsis
Most common consequence of sepsis due to systemic activation of coagulation cascade
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
Inflammation of endocardial lining of the heart (native or prosthetic, mural endocardium) and implanted material caused by infection from bacteria or fungus
Infective endorcarditis
The MC clinical presentation of IE include
Fever
Cardiac murmur
IE patients with skin manifestations had higher rates of cerebral emboli with increased mortality.
True or False
False, no increase mortality
More frequently associated with extra cerebral emboli
Janeway Lesions
1-2 mm red brown or black longitudinal streaks under nail plate result of small capillary vasculitis or from microemboli
Splinter hemorrhages
Painless, irregular, nonblanching, erythematous maculopapules that appear on palms and soles and last days to weeks
Janeway lesions
Painful red papulonodules with pale center on fingertips lasting days to weeks
Osler nodes
Osler nodes are painful due to
Glomus body involvement
Most concerning and severe complication of IE
Ischemic strokes
The MC cause of IE in high income countries for both naive and prosthetic valves
Staphylococcus aureus
Acc to modified Duke Criteria, a clinically definite case is
2 major
1 major + 3 minor

OR
Positive echocardiogram showing oscillating echogenic intracardiac mass at the site of endocardial injury, a periannular abscess, or new dehiscence of prosthetic valve
Minor criteria of modified duke criteria (5)
Predisposition to infective endocarditis
Fever
Vascular phenomena (osler nodes, roth spots)
Immune factors (+ RF or glomerulonephritis)
