HACEK ORGANISMS
Haemophilus sp. Aggregatibacter sp. Cardiobacterium hominis Eikenella corrodens Kingella sp.
Name 5 duke minor criteria
Lambl’s excrescence
Filiform fronds at site of valve closure; mitral more than aortic, collagen composition, can be substrate for emboli
Echo features of high risk IE
Great echo predictor of embolic complications from IE
10mm or bigger veg on ant MV
Echo features that suggest early surgery for IE
Vegetation :
A. Persistent after embolization
B. Ant mitral leaflet, esp greater than 10mm
c. One or more embolic events within first 2 weeks of abx
D. Increasing veg size on abx
Valve dysfunction:
A. Acute AI or MR w ventricular failure
B. HF not responsive to Med rx
Valve perforation or rupture: A. Peri valvular extension B. Dehiscence, rupture or fistula C. new HB C. Large abscess or extension on Abx
Duke Major criteria
Duke Minor Criteria
3D vs. 2D TEE
3D has lower temporal and lateral resolution
therefore, overestimates veg size and difficulty visualizing fast moving structures
define inoculum effect
which antibiotics most susceptible
which least susceptible
High bacterial density causes decreased antimicrobial activity of an antibiotic
- beta lactams and glycopeptides most susceptible to this problem (?due to loss of penicillin-binding protein during stationary-growth phase of bacteria)
4 common PK/PD parameters that predict antibiotic efficacy
MIC = minimum inhibitory concentration
most common organisms causing early (within 1 year) prosthetic valve endocarditis
most common organisms causing late PVE
most common organisms causing IE of indwelling devies
most common organisms causing IE of transplantation
most common organisms causing IE in IDU
orgnaisms responsible for NVE in non IDU
non-infectious endocarditis causes
