Abstract:

Infectious endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the heart’s innermost layer, the endothelium. Most cases require a predisposing injury to the endocardium to serve as a nidus for thrombus development, which in turn acts as nidus for bloodstream microorganisms. These intravascular microorganisms can result from dental and other invasive procedures, infected vascular catheters, and skin lesions. However, most episodes of IE result from transient bacteremia during menial tasks, such as chewing and brushing one’s teeth. Blood cultures and echocardiograms are critical for IE diagnosis.

Abstract:

Post-infectious glomerulonephritis (GN) defines an inflammatory lesion involving exclusively or predominantly the glomeruli that is a consequence of an infectious disease. There are numerous bacterial, viral, and fungal infections associated with GN. This chapter acts as an overview of the following chapters that discuss only post-streptococcal GN, immunoglobulin A-dominant GN associated with staphylococcal infections, GN associated with bacterial endocarditis, with infected ventriculoatrial shunts (‘shunt nephritis’), and GN associated with deep-seated infections (osteomyelitis, visceral absc

Abstract:

Endocarditis is a cause of glomerulonephritis. Healthcare interventions (prosthetic valves, indwelling catheters, pacemaker wires) and intravenous drug abuse are presently the most common causes of endocarditis and Staphylococcus aureus is frequently the infecting bacteria. Shunt nephritis is a form of glomerulonephritis associated with infection of ventriculoatrial shunts implanted to relieve hydrocephalus and, typically, are caused by prolonged infections of low-pathogenicity microorganisms. This complication led to the replacement of the technique by ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Deep-seated

Injection drug abuse has spread worldwide and is increasing among young adults and adolescents.

The approach to infection is determined based upon etiology: local (injection site) infections, infections distant to the injection site, systemic infections, complications of primary infections, modifying factors, and infections associated with the patient with IDU’s lifestyle.

Abstract:

Endocarditis is defined as an inflammation of the endocardial surface of the heart. This may include heart valves, mural endocardium or the endocardium that covers implanted material, such as prosthetic valves, pacemaker/defibrillator leads and catheters. Infective and non-infective-related causes must be distinguished. In most cases, the inflammation is related to a bacterial or fungal infection with oral streptococci, group D streptococci, staphylococci and enterococci accounting for 85% of episodes. Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious disease with an incidence ranging from 30 to 100 ep

Abstract:

Initially always lethal, the prognosis of infective endocarditis (IE) has been revolutionized by antibacterial therapy and valve surgery. Nevertheless, it remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases, with ≥30% of patients dying within a year of diagnosis. Its incidence has also remained stable at 25–50 cases per million per year, and results predominantly from a combination of bacteraemia and a predisposing cardiac condition, including endocardial lesions and/or intracardiac foreign material. While antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended by various learned societies to cover healthcare proc

Abstract:

These case studies illustrate infections encountered in hospitals among patients with compromised immune systems. As a result of immunocompromise, the patients are vulnerable to common and uncommon infections. These cases are carefully chosen to reflect the most frequently encountered infections in the patient population, with an emphasis on illustrations and lucid presentations to explain state-of-the-art approaches in diagnosis and treatment. Common and uncommon presentations of infections are presented while the rare ones are not emphasized. The cases are written and edited by clinicians an

Abstract:

Infective endocarditis is the fourth leading cause of life-threatening infections, accounting for 40,000 annual U.S. hospital admissions. Due to decline in rheumatic heart disease, a shift in causative organisms from viridans streptococci to S. aureus, Group D Streptococcus, and multidrug-resistant species has been observed. The spectrum of neurological complications ranges widely from cerebrovascular pathologies-including septic embolization, mycotic aneurysms, and intracerebral hemorrhages-to seizures, meningitis, cerebritis, and abscess. Transthoracic echocardiogram remains the standard for

Abstract:

Fungal cardiovascular disease can broadly be divided into four groups: infective endocarditis (including implantable cardiac electronic devices), mycotic aneurysms, vascular graft infections, and intravascular catheter-related infections. These conditions are rare but are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, which may be in excess of 80% in certain groups of patients. Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. account for the majority of these infections, but rare fungi may also be involved, particularly in infective endocarditis, where they are responsible for approximately 25% of case

Abstract:

The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) is estimated at between 15 and 60 cases per million inhabitants per year from population-based studies in industrialized countries. The presentation of IE has changed since patients are getting older and Staphylococcus is now becoming the microorganism most frequently responsible, which is partly attributable to healthcare-associated infections. The incidence of IE is higher in patients with heart valve prosthesis, previous endocarditis, and complex congenital heart disease. In developing countries, IE occurs in younger patients with a majority of r

Abstract:

Q fever is a wide spread illness affecting wild and domestic animals and man. The etiological agent Coxiella burnetii, has both a wild life and domestic animal cycle. In mammals, infection localizes to the endometrium and the mammary glands. The organism is reactivated during pregnancy reaching high concentrations in the placenta. At the time of parturition the organism is aerosolized. Inhalation of Coxiella burnetii by a susceptible animal results in Q fever. In man, Q fever may be acute (self limited febrile illness, pneumonia, hepatitis) or chronic (mostly endocarditis, but also osteomyelit

Abstract:

Erysipeloid is an acute bacterial infection usually causing acute localised cellulitis as a secondary infection of traumatised skin. It is caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (insidiosa), a non-sporulating Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium, ubiquitous in the environment. It is the cause of swine erysipelas and also a pathogen or commensal in a variety of wild and domestic birds, animal and marine species. Human infection primarily associated with occupational exposure to infected or contaminated animals or handling animal products and therefore is commoner in farmers, butchers and abattoir
