Infectious Endocarditis complicated by embolic events, clinical case
Infectious Endocarditis (IE) is a septic disease, with cardiac damage manifested by vegetations, leading to structural impairment of the heart and systemic embolism. Its incidence is 1.9 to 6.2 cases per 100,000 persons / year, mortality rate ranging from 20 to 25% [1,4,5].
Embolic complications are common signs and relevant prediction factors in patients with IE. They are revealed in 22-43% of cases with IE and cause high mortality rate and early invalidity [1,6,7]. It was found that the highest embolization rate was in IE caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Candida and HACEK group of microorganisms, in patients with large floating vegetation, located on aortic and mitral valve [2,3,6].
The authors present a clinical case of the patient P. 35, intravenous drug user with IE and embolic events involving the pulmonary artery branches, with anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) in titer of 32 GPL. Detection of high titres of ACA in a patient with IE increases likelihood of developing embolic complications [8]. |
