    Summary

    Infectious endocarditis (IE) patients exhibit immune unbalance (IU), necessitating immunocorrective and efferent therapies alongside antibiotics. This study assesses IE variants to guide differentiated treatment approaches.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a serious condition often associated with immune system dysregulation.
    • Understanding immune unbalance (IU) in IE is crucial for effective therapeutic strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct an immunological assessment of infectious endocarditis variants.
    • To design a differentiated therapeutic approach for IE based on immunological findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 150 patients (90 males, 60 females, mean age 41.9 years) with primary and secondary IE.
    • Evaluation of immune status, including immune unbalance (IU), in relation to disease chronicity.

    Main Results:

    • A trend towards increasing immune unbalance (IU) was observed with disease chronization.
    • IU in IE patients presented with shifts from leukocytosis to leukopenia, reduced lymphocyte counts, and altered complement levels.
    • Elevated levels of circulating immune complexes (CIC), IgM, rheumatoid factor, and cryoproteins were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Infectious endocarditis patients require immunocorrective and efferent therapies in addition to antibacterial treatment.
    • A differentiated therapeutic strategy considering immunological status is essential for managing IE.
