Q

Major and minor criteria for Modified Duke

A

Major criteriaare:
- Persistently positiveblood cultures(typical bacteria on multiple cultures)
- Specificimaging findings(e.g., a vegetation seen on the echocardiogram)

Minor criteria are:
- Predisposition (e.g., IV drug use or heart valve pathology)
- Feverabove 38°C
- Vascular phenomena(e.g., splenic infarction, intracranial haemorrhage and Janeway lesions)
- Immunological phenomena(e.g., Osler’s nodes, Roth spots and glomerulonephritis)
- Microbiological phenomena (e.g., positive cultures not qualifying as a major criterion)
