[A case of pulmonary infarction secondary to subacute bacterial endocarditis with subpulmonary VSD].

A case of pulmonary infarction secondary to subacute bacterial endocarditis of pulmonary valve which is associated with subpulmonary VSD is presented. The jet stream of blood through the subpulmonary VSD made damage to the pulmonary valve, which may be one of the reasons why subacute bacterial endocarditis was associated with the subpulmonary VSD. Echocardiography of the right-sided valves will be very useful in order to detect the pulmonary valve endocarditis in congenital heart disease presenting with fever.

Early operative intervention in aortic bacterial endocarditis.

Since 1974, 14 patients have required valve replacement for native aortic valve bacterial endocarditis at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. There were 7 male and 7 female patients ranging from 11 to 65 years old. Nine of the patients were less than 27 years old. All patients had congestive heart failure as a complication of the bacterial endocarditis and were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class III or IV. Two patients were seen initially with arrhythmias, 3 had episodes of septic emboli, and 1 patient was operated on immediately after sustaining a cardiac arrest. Echocardiogram was utilized in 9 patients, and cardiac catheterization was performed in 6 patients who were suspected to have concomitant mitral valve or coronary artery disease. All patients were operated on within two weeks after the institution of antibiotic therapy, and there were no operative or early postoperatively deaths. Preoperative blood cultures were positive in 13 patients, with streptococcus cultured in 6 patients and staphylococcus in 4. Escherichia coli and enterococcus were the other pathogens cultured. All patients received antibiotics intravenously for a total of six weeks. There has been 1 late postoperative death, which occurred 2 months following operation in a patient with myocardial failure unresponsive to treatment. Two patients underwent reoperation, 1 because of a persistent aorto-right ventricular fistula and the second because of paraprosthetic aortic regurgitation. Nine patients are now in NYHA Functional Class I and 4 are in Class II.

[Spondylodiscitis in subacute bacterial endocarditis. Apropos of a case].

Occurring of spondylodiscitis as first manifestation of bacterial endocarditis in an uncommon condition. About fifty cases are reported in the literature. Such association makes imperious the regular examination of the heart of patients with spondylodiscitis and spine radiography when a vertebral pain is found to be present in patients with bacterial endocarditis. An additional case is her by reported.
