    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious condition often linked to pre-existing heart conditions.
    • Understanding the epidemiology and causative agents of IE is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical features, microbial causes, and outcomes of infective endocarditis.
    • To compare current patient data with historical cases in Japan.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 17 current IE patients.
    • Comparison with 101 previously reported IE cases in Japan.
    • Review of clinical manifestations, causative microorganisms, underlying diseases, complications, and prognosis.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Over 93% of IE patients had underlying heart disease, notably ventricular septal defect and tetralogy of Fallot.
    • Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus viridans were the most frequent pathogens; Staphylococcus aureus caused nearly half of IE-related deaths.
    • The overall mortality rate was 11.9%, with Candida albicans having a 100% mortality rate.

    Conclusions:

    • Infective endocarditis predominantly affects individuals with congenital heart defects.
    • Staphylococcus aureus poses a significant mortality risk in IE patients.
    • Prompt diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential for improving IE outcomes.
