Q

IE

Minor Criteria

A

Predisposition: Heart condition/IV drug abuse.
Fever > 100.4.
Vascular phenomena: major arterial emboli, septic pulmonary infarcts, mycotic aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage, Janeway lesions.
Immunologic phenomena: glomerulonephritis, Osler’s nodes, Roth spots, rheumatoid factor

16
Q

Acute IE

A

<6 week incubation – can be very rapid course
Toxic presentation (high fevers, CP, SOB, very tired)
Rapid progression fatal if untreated
S. aureus most common

17
Q

Subacute IE

A

greater than 6 week incubation – can be several months
Less dramatic presentation (low grade fever, night sweats, weight loss)
Gradual progression
Less virulent organisms: S. viridians, enterococcus

18
Q

IE

Treatment for valve destruction

A

Surgery

19
Q

IE

Early surgical indicators

A

Acute heart failure due to valve destruction
Unresponsive to antibiotics
Septal abscess
Sinus of Valsalva involved
Recurrent IE with same organism
Embolism despite treatment
Large mobile vegetation

20
Q

IE

Late surgery indication

A

after antibiotic course is completed

21
Q

IE

Post surgery meds

A

antibiotics, antifungals for 6 weeks, and anticoagulants for life

22
Q

IE

Prognosis if untreated, with treatment, how many will need surgery, what about with fungal infection

A

untreated almost always fatal.
~70% survive w treatment
60% will have surgery
mortality rate higher with fungal infection

23
Q

IE

Valve complications

A

Valve damage/destruction –> Heart failure

24
Q

IE

Peripheral embolization Complications

A

Myocardium  MI
Lungs > Septic PE (R side)
Brain/spinal cord > Stroke/paralysis
Eyes > Blindness
Extremities > Limb ischemia
Spleen/kidney > Infarct

25
Q

IE

when is prophylaxis indicated? (antibiotics)

A

prior hx of endocarditis
vardiac valce disease in a transplanted heart
unrepaired cyanotiv congenital heart disease

26
Q

Staph

MRSA tx

A

Vanco or clindamycin

27
Q

Staph

Types of infections (4)

A
  1. skin/soft tissue
    2.Scalded skin syndrome(peds)
    3.Toxic Shock syndrome(15% fatality)
    4.Enterotoxin food poisoning
28
Q

What are the coagulase - Staph spp?

A

Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. haemolyticus, and S hominis are common and part of normal skin flora.

29
Q

staph

what are coagulase - staph commonly resistant to and how do we Tx?

A

beta-latams.
treat with vanco.

30
Q

Enterococcus

what are the most common spp in infections?

A

Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium
(usually from fecal matter)

31
Q

Enterococcus

How do we Tx?

A

Penicillin.
if allergic give Vanco.
if Vanco resistant (VRE) give Linezolid (can cause bone marrow suppresion/thrombocytopenia).
call infectious disease/pharm

32
Q

Pneumococcus

is the most common cause of what disease?

A

community acquired bacterial pneumonia

33
Q

pneumonococcus

How do we Dx?

A

Sputum Culture.
Rapid urine antigen test for Streptococcus Pneumoniae

34
Q

pneumonococcus

complications

Parapneumonic effusions, pericarditis, endocarditis, meningitis

35
Q

Pneumonococcus

How do we Tx? Outpatient and inpatient

A

outpatient: amoxicillin, azitromycin(if PCN allergic)
inpatient: Pen G IV, Vanco IV

36
