IE Therapy and prophylaxis

A

no spontaneous cure
Parental Antibiotics
Bactericidal
Monitor treatment

18
Q

If no response to Abx treatment

A

surgical removement of vegetation

19
Q

Bacteremia

A

NOT DISEASE STATES
Transient- Not clinical (like brushing teeth)
Intermittant
Continuous

20
Q

Transient

A
Swiftly cleared
brush teeth
normal childbirth
 endoscopy
Defecation
21
Q

Transient Etiology

A

Viridans streptococci

Virulence determines ability to colonize

22
Q

Intermittant

A

Repeated blood cultures, monitor treatment

abscess, UTI infection

23
Q

Continuous

A

IV catheter surgery, underline disease leak in gi or endocarditis ( bovis or galoliticus)
