Staphylococcus aureus caused 142 cases of bacterial endocarditis (BE), with prosthetic valve endocarditis (BEP) having the highest mortality. Neurological complications were frequent and often fatal, particularly in left-sided BE and BEP.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiology
  • Neurology

Context:

  • Bacterial endocarditis (BE) is a serious infection.
  • Staphylococcus aureus is a significant pathogen in BE.
  • This study analyzes a large cohort of BE cases from 1972-1985.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the clinical features, complications, and outcomes of bacterial endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
  • To differentiate outcomes based on valve type (native left, native right, prosthetic) and patient risk factors.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 409 BE cases identified 142 (34.7%) caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Native left-sided BE (59 cases), native right-sided BE (47 cases, including 36 drug addicts), and prosthetic valve endocarditis (BEP, 36 cases) were analyzed.

  • Mortality was highest in BEP (86%), followed by left-sided BE (47%) and right-sided BE (15%).
  • Neurological accidents (58 cases) and heart failure (78 cases) were major complications, with significant neurological-related deaths.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the high mortality associated with Staphylococcus aureus BE, particularly in prosthetic valve cases.
    • Emphasizes the substantial risk of neurological complications and their contribution to mortality.
    • Provides valuable data for understanding the epidemiology and clinical management of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis.
