Pathogenesis of Infective Endocarditis
Pathogenesis of Infective Endocarditis
- endothelial Damage
Almost all patients with congenital heart defects are complicated by IE except โฆ..
- Due to low pressure gradient between both atria so no turbulent flow and no endocardial damage

Manifestations of the disease are due to:
- Toxemia
- Cardiac damage
- Embolization
- Immune complexes
Signs of Infective Endocarditis
- Cardiac
Heart murmur is almost always present (85 - 90 %)
- Development of a new heart murmur or change in a pre-existing one
Signs of Infective Endocarditis
- Spleen
Splenomegaly is common (70%)
Signs of Infective Endocarditis
- Embolic & Immunologic
Rare in Chidren

- Oslerโs Nodes
Painful, pea-size pink nodes at the Pulps of fingers or toes
Embolic & Immunologic Signs of Infective Endocarditis
- janeway Lesions
small, painless, hemorrhagic areas on the palms or soles

- Uses
Detects the site and extent of valvular damage

- Findings
ECHO in Infective Endocarditis
- false -ve
- vegetations are small
- Have already embolized
ECHO in Infective Endocarditis
- Notes
- Echo evidence of vegetation may persist for up to years.
- The absence of vegetation on echo does not in itself rule out lE.
