Infective Endocarditis Flashcards
Infective Endocarditis- Epidemiology Predisposing
Rheumatic Fever Calcific aortic stenosis Cogenital Heart Disease Prosthetic Valves Residual damage from previous IE Mitral valve prolaspse
Acute Native Valve Endocarditis
Abrupt Onset
Fever always
Complications one 1 wekk
S. aureus maybe
Subacute Native Valve Endocarditis
Fever subtl and nonspecific symptoms flu like/ anorexia onset to dx 6 wks Etiology: HACEK or viridans
Site of infection and etiology S. aureus viridans stept enterococci s epidermidis s gallolyticus other strept Non HACEK FUNGI HACEK
ACUTE
Subacute
Major PVE
H A C E K
Haemophilus aphrophilus actinobacillus actinomycetes Cardiobacterium hominis Eikenella corrodens Kingella kingae
HACEK
most common sub acute gram neg
Non bacterial thrombotic Vegetation
Aggregation of platelets and fibrin
- trauma
- defective Valves
- Changes endocardium
Stage 2 Bacteremia
organism adheres seeds begins to replicate aggregation of fibrin & platelets infections avascular Surface-- Active internal Depp-- inactive/stationary
Formation of Vegetations
pressure gradient fibrin platelet colonized fibrin platelet further deposits of thrombus Vegetations increase in size and break away
MSCRAMMS Virulence Factors
MSC- extracellular polysaccharide, lipteichoic acid, FimA
Recognize:Platelet Fibrin aggregates
Adherence: Fibronectin adhesion, clumping factor
Clinical Syndrome
Symptoms of left side heart disease signs of pulmonary= right side Fever Petechiae subungual hemorrhages Specific= Osler, janeway, roth, glomerularnephritis
Janeway Lesion
On palm and soles
macular painless
Vascular Phenomena
Immunologic Phenomena
Glomerulonephritis, flea bitten kidneys
Osley Nodes- painful, tips of hands, more subacute
Roth Spots- exudative lesions of retina
Subconjuctival petechiae-
Vascular Phenomena
NOT DUKE CRITERIA
Subungual hemorrhages
