Recent Case Malaria • Plasmodium – ovale, viax, malaria, knowlesi, falciparum • Fever + exposure to endemic country – cyclic fever, headache cough, GI symptoms • Severe – AMS, anemia hgb <7, renal failure, ARDS, hypotension, DIC, bleeding, acidosis, hemoglobinuria, jaundice, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, seizures, parasitemia >5% • Normocytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, elev ESR/LDH/LFTs/Cr, HypoNa/Gluc • Management: supportive, Antimalarials (Artesunate, Qunidine), Exchange Transfusion for life-threatening complications / P. falciparum
Recent Case Speaking of Nigeria
Endocarditis • Intro • Pathophysiology • Clinical Features • Diagnostic Criteria & Tests • Treatment • Prophylaxis
Endocarditis – Intro • Potential to affect nearly all organ systems • Majority case = infective • Unrecognized IE has high mortality, complications • Developed countries – 2-11.6 cases per 100,000; urban (IVDU) > rural
Endocarditis – Intro • Predisposing Identifiable • Pediatric: structural CHD, Rheumatic HD (#1 developing), Nosocomial, Catheter-related Bacteremia • Structural: Prosthetic Valve, AS, MVP (#1 developed world • Risk Factor: IVDU, poor dental hygiene, chronic HD, HIV, indwelling vascular devices • Valves – Mitral #1; IVDU = Tricuspid • Prosthetic • 1-4% during 1st year, 1% per year thereafter • No difference between mechanical and bioprosthetic
Endocarditis – Pathophysiology • Normal endothelium can be injured by high pressure gradient, turbulent flow state • Valvular, congenital, IVDU particles • Hypercoagulable states – Malignancy (MaranaticEndocarditis), SLE (Libman-Sacks Endocarditis) • Non-Infective Vegetations made of platelets, fibrin • Transient bacteremia may result in colonization of vegetations, conversion to infective • Transient bacteremia from trauma to skin or mucosal surfaces (oropharynx, GI, GU) • Nontraumatic – poor hygiene, S. aureus (highly invasive)
Endocarditis – Pathophysiology Microbio • Bacteria #1 >> fungal • Type of organism based on condition (native vs prosthetic, IVDU, intracardiac devices) • Staph #1 followed by strep, enteroccici • Staph – increased healthcare associated, increasing IVDU; increased in-hospital death • Enterococcal – valvular + DM + GI/GU manipulation • Also – HACEK group (Haemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eikenella, Kingella), Bartonella, Coxiella
Endocarditis – Clinical Features • Fever • >90% patients overall, >98% IVDU • Can be absent in elderly or history abx/antipyretic use • Assoc other ssx of sepsis • Cardiac • CHF70% - valvular leaflet, rupture chordae tendinae/papillary/chambers • Murmurs 50-85% (less for R-sided) • Other – blocks, dysrhythmias • Neurologic • 20-40% • Multifocal cerebral ischemia, CNS abscess, ICH, aneurysm, meningitis, seizures
Endocarditis – Clinical Features • Arterial Embolization • Can embolize to any artery – results in infarction/abscess in remote tissue • Multiple brain/liver abscesses • Pulmonary – infarct, pna, empyema, effusion • Renal – flank pain, hematuria • Mesenteric – abdominal pain, rectal bleed, bowel ischemia • Acute Limb Ischemia • Cerebral, Retinal (Roth Spots) • Cutaneous Findings • Classic but rare - 5-10% • Petechiae/Splinter/Subungal Hemorrhages of fingers/toes • Osler Nodes, Janeway Lesions, clubbing • Can be seen in other vasculitis
Endocarditis – Diagnostic Criteria & Tests • Admit patients with high suspicion for endocarditis • Consider in • Unexplained Fever + Risk Factors (i.e. IVDU) • Prolonged unexplained fever, malaise, other constitutional symptoms without another cause • Fever + Prosthetic Valve (signs of vasculitis, new murmur) = high mortality • Discharged stable patients with + blood culture
Endocarditis – Diagnostic Criteria & Tests • Blood Cultures • 3 separate sets from separate sites • At least 10ml for each bottle • Additional sets if already on Abx • 1 hour between 1st and last blood culture draw • Do not delay treatment for blood cultures if systemic complications or septic • Echo • Part of major criteria, helps in management • TTEsn 88%, sp 94-98% • TEE better sn/sp; use for prosthetic valves/intracardiac devices, intermediate to high clinical prob of endocarditis • Helps i.d. complications like abscesses • Other • Anemia – 70-90%, ESR – >90% • Nonspecific – hematuria, CRP, Procalcitonin • EKG – nonspecific; prolonged PR, LBBB, RBBB + LAFB, Heart block
Endocarditis – Treatment • Resuscitation • ABCs as usual • Balloon pump for unstable MV rupture, contraindicated AoV rupture • Team approach – ID, cardiology, cardiac surgery • Lytics/AC - controversial • Antibiotics • Target toward isolated organism; presume Staph or Strep until results • Native Valves – Ceph + Aminoglycos • + Vanc if complicated (IVDU, CHD, nosocomial, suspected MRSA) • Artificial Valve – Vanc + Aminoglycoside + Rifampin • Surgery • Severe valvular dysfunction • CHF • Relapsing Valve Endocarditis • Major Embolic Complications • Fungal • New conduction defect/dysrhythmias • Persistent bacteremia after appropriate antibiotic therapy
Endocarditis – Prophylaxis • Provide for dental procedures that involve • Manipulation of gingival tissue • Periapical region of teeth • Perforation of oral mucosa • Not needed • Local injections • Laceration suturing • IV line placement, draws • Intubation, endoscopy, vaginal delivery, oral trauma, bleeding, uretheralcahterization • Indeterminant • Manipulation of infect skin structures or msk tissue • Oral Procedure – Amox or Amp or Cefazloin • Vanc or Clinda or Azithro if pen allergic • Skin/MSK Procedure – Dicloxacillin or Cephalexin • Vanc or Clinda if b-lactam allergic
Why do I care and when should I care? • High morbidity and mortality • Need to obtain appropriate testing • Need optimal management
When should it cross my mind? • Acutely ill patient with multiple organ dysfunctions, multiple ischemic organs like ischemic leg, stroke like symptoms, pulmonary effusions, associated fever…Endocarditis? • Sepsis without a source (especially with predisposing risk factors)…Endocarditis? • IVDU fever without a source….Endocarditis? (Also spinal abscess?) • Sepsis with new onset congestive heart failure…Endocarditis?
