Nocardiosis, is a potentially life-threatening disease, especially in immunocompromised individuals where it manifests as a disseminated disease. Infective Endocarditis (IE) is a rare disease with sig...
Bacterial infections caused by Listeria monocytogenes are rarely observed in routine clinical practice. Symptoms can range from comparatively unspecific to severe, septic courses of disease with cardi...
A 74-year-old male patient with a history of mitral valve replacement and pacemaker implantation presented to the emergency department with high fever and disturbed coagulation. Transesophageal echoca...
Diagnosis of endocarditis caused by Listeria requires structured collaboration between cardiologists, imaging and laboratory. This case report aims to increase awareness of potentially Listeria-induce...
A retrospective cohort study of SBSEC-bacteraemia identified in clinical laboratory databases, in Skåne Region, Sweden, 2003-2018. Bacteraemia with...
In total, 210 episodes of SBSEC-bacteraemia were included. Definite IE was identified in 28/210 (13%) episodes. Of these, 7/28 (25%) were prosthetic valve-IE, 1/28 (4%) related to a cardiovascular imp...
The proportion of IE in SBSEC-bacteraemia varies substantially depending on subspecies. Echocardiography should always be considered in bacteraemia with...
A man in his 20s attended the emergency department with three days of fever, headache, reduced appetite and a sore throat. COVID-19 point-of-care test was negative. Blood cultures grew a gram-negative...
In patients surviving infective endocarditis (IE) recurrence of bacteremia or IE is feared. However, knowledge is sparse on the incidence and risk factors for the recurrence of bacteremia or IE....
Using Danish nationwide registries (2010-2020), we identified patients with first-time IE which were categorized by bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., coa...
We identified 4086 patients with IE; 1374 (33.6%) with S. aureus, 813 (19.9%) with Enterococcus spp., 1366 (33.4%) with Streptococcus spp., 284 (7.0%) with CoNS, and 249 (6.1%) with 'Other'. The overa...
Recurrent bacteremia with the same bacterial species within 12 months, occurred in almost 5% and 2.6% for recurrent IE. S. aureus, Enterococcus spp., and CoNS were associated with recurrent infections...
Progress of interventional cardiology has boosted the use of newer cardiac devices. These devices are perceived to be less prone to infections compared to traditional surgical prostheses, but little d...
We conducted a SR of PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and Scopus between January 2003 and March 2022. MitraClip-related IE was defined according to 2015 ESC criteria whereas MitraClip involvement as ve...
Twenty-six cases of MitraClip-related IE were retrieved. The median age of patients was 76 [61-83] years with a median EuroScore of 41%. Fever was present in 65.8% of patients followed by signs and sy...
Our results suggest that MitraClip-related IE affects elderly, comorbid patients, is mostly due to Staphylococcus aureus, and has a poor prognosis irrespective of the therapeutic approach. Clinicians ...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis is crucial for adequate patient management. Due to difficulties in the diagnosis, a multidisciplinary discu...
We describe a 39-year-old man referred for surgical aortic valve replacement for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Intraoperative inspection was unexpectedly consistent with marantic endocarditis. P...
A man in his late 40s presented to the emergency department with generalised tiredness and breathlessness. He was a known case of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and also had a recent history of...
