[Infective endocarditis and outpatient practice].

The incidence of infectious endocarditis is fairly stable over the past decades. It is estimated at roughly 3-4 case per patient-year. However, as a consequence of medical progress, Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis has become more prevalent. This is particularly true for health-care associated endocarditis, especially in iv-drug abusers or hemodialysis patients. Mortality (15-20% of patients in the last series) remains high. About 50% of patients undergo surgical treatment, whereas outpatient therapy is more and more frequent for highly selected subgroups of patients without complications and infected with low-risk organims. The present paper reviews in detail the epidemiology of infective endocarditis and discuss in detail the different out-patients therapies.

Sudden death in a neonate with idiopathic eosinophilic endomyocarditis.

A 26-day-old male infant who had been fussy and feeding poorly for a period of several hours died suddenly despite efforts at resuscitation. Postmortem examination revealed eosinophilic endomyocarditis unassociated with disease in other organs. The etiology remained unexplained after review of the medical and family histories and circumstances of death, extensive light and immunofluorescence microscopies, and microbiological, metabolic, and toxicologic testing. This appears to be the youngest reported case of eosinophilic endomyocarditis, a disorder that typically occurs in middle-age males and is often associated with benign or malignant hypereosinophilic conditions. The medical literature is reviewed.
