HPIHPI This is a 54 yo caucasian male who was transferred from Maria Parham ED for a several day history of generalized weakness muscle aches with associated subjective fevers (101 F) that started 5 days ago with a sore throat He was in his usual state of health who reports that approximately 3 weeks ago he hurt his back while lifting a heavy television As a result of this injury he began to experience sharp pains that would go down his left leg He was seen in the Maria Parham ED who obtained a MRI spine that revealed a pinched nerve from a possible slipped disc He was referred to an orthopedist in Raleigh who prescribed cyclobenzaprine and physical therapy with good response After that he developed a fever 5 days ago followed closely by myalgias nauseavomiting headaches that converted to migraines and general weakness He presented to Maria Parham again who diagnosed him with the flu gave fluid resuscitation and sent him home However his symptoms continued to a point where he could no longer walk and re-presented at Maria Parham ED for evaluation At that time he was noted by the physician there to have bilateral lower extremity weakness and diminished reflexes Out of concern for possible acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (Guillian-Barre syndrome) he was transferred to UNC He also developed swelling and tenderness of the right knee on Sunday He developed a red patchy rash on his elbows 3 weeks ago He also developed purple papules on palms and soles that have worsened over the course of the day

Infective Endocarditis
bull Pathologyndash NVE infection is largely confined to leafletsndash PVE infection commonly extends beyond valve
ring into annulusperiannular tissuebull Ring abscessesbull Septal abscessesbull Fistulaebull Prosthetic dehiscence
ndash Invasive infection more common in aortic position and if onset is early
Infective Endocarditis
bull Pathogenesis
Endothelial damage
Platelet-fibrin thrombi
Microorganism adherence
Pathophysiology
1 Turbulent blood flow disrupts the endocardium making it ldquostickyrdquo
2 Bacteremia delivers the organisms to the endocardial surface
3 Adherence of the organisms to the endocardial surface
4 Eventual invasion of the valvular leaflets

Bacteremia Risk Related to Dental Procedures
Estimated cumulative exposure of 5370 minutes of bacteremia month related to chewing food and oral hygiene measure Vs 6-30 minutes of bacteremia associated with single tooth extraction (Guntheroth 1984)
Tooth brushing twice daily for 1 year has estimated IE risk 154000 times greater than single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)
Cumulative exposure to bacteremia over 1 year may be as high as 56 million times greater than that from a single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)

Tooth brushing twice daily for 1 year has estimated IE risk 154000 times greater than single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)
Cumulative exposure to bacteremia over 1 year may be as high as 56 million times greater than that from a single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)

Pathophysiology
1 Turbulent blood flow disrupts the endocardium making it ldquostickyrdquo
2 Bacteremia delivers the organisms to the endocardial surface

Tooth brushing twice daily for 1 year has estimated IE risk 154000 times greater than single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)
Cumulative exposure to bacteremia over 1 year may be as high as 56 million times greater than that from a single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)

Tooth brushing twice daily for 1 year has estimated IE risk 154000 times greater than single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)
Cumulative exposure to bacteremia over 1 year may be as high as 56 million times greater than that from a single tooth extraction (Roberts 1999)

Infective Endocarditis
bull Pathologyndash NVE infection is largely confined to leafletsndash PVE infection commonly extends beyond valve
ring into annulusperiannular tissuebull Ring abscessesbull Septal abscessesbull Fistulaebull Prosthetic dehiscence

Infective Endocarditis
bull Pathogenesis
Endothelial damage
Platelet-fibrin thrombi
Microorganism adherence
Pathophysiology
1 Turbulent blood flow disrupts the endocardium making it ldquostickyrdquo
2 Bacteremia delivers the organisms to the endocardial surface
3 Adherence of the organisms to the endocardial surface
4 Eventual invasion of the valvular leaflets
