Case Report: “Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Endocarditis Overlying Calcified Mitral Annular Abscess Misdiagnosed as Klebsiella pneumoniae Endocarditis”

ABSTRACT: Infective endocarditis (IE) involving mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a rare disease, but is potentially lethal due to frequent serious periannular complications, and therefore requires early diagnosis and prompt treatment. However, either reaching the correct diagnosis or the detection of periannular complications, even with conventional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), remains challenging because calcium deposition obscures clear visualization of the area around the MAC. We describe a unique case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) IE involving a calcified mitral annular abscess, which was initially misdiagnosed as Klebsiella pneumoniae IE. Accurate diagnosis of MAC-related IE as well as detection of the annular abscess were made possible by 4D TEE, leading to successful cardiac surgery, which confirmed MRSA IE pathologically, and the associated annular abscess. This case highlights the usefulness of 4D TEE for the accurate diagnosis and proper surgical planning. In addition, this case raises the limitations of the modified Duke criteria in cases of definite IE with dual bacteremia.

Silent destruction of aortic and mitral valve by Klebsiella pneumoniae endocarditis.

Project description:Klebsiella endocarditis rarely affects the native valve especially in the immunocompromised and the elderly. We report a case of Klebsiella endocarditis in a 60-year-old man who had a nidus of infection on the aortic valve which led to severe aortic regurgitation. This possibly spread to the anterior mitral leaflet (AML) leading to AML perforation therefore causing moderate mitral regurgitation. The reason for this suspicion was that there was perforation of the AML in the absence of vegetation. Noteworthy is that he was asymptomatic apart from generalised fatigue. This case draws our attention to the nature of Klebsiella valvular affection due to the fact that it had bitten the aortic and mitral valve silently and compelled the patient to undergo double valve replacement without having a prolonged duration of symptomatic illness thereby calling for high suspicion especially in individuals in the extremes of ages where the symptoms are less-guiding than the signs.

Ruptured mitral valve abscess with mitral incompetence in culture negative infective endocarditis: case report.

Project description:IntroductionPerivalvular abscess in native valve infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significantly increased mortality.Case descriptionHerein, we report a 29 year old Indian male who presented with culture negative IE with perivalvular abscess and severe mitral regurgitation requiring mitral valve replacement.DiscussionInitial approach is very difficult in terms of when IE presents as culture negative. This case highlights the important role of echocardiography in the management of culture negative IE.

Infective Endocarditis Complicated with Anterior Mitral Leaflet Abscess: A Case Report.

Project description:Infective endocarditis (IE) is defined as infection of endocardial surface of the heart. It may include one or more heart valves, the mural endocardium or a septal defect. Its intracardiac effect includes severe valvular insufficiency which may lead to intractable congestive heart failure and myocardial abscess. Infective endocarditis especially complicated by an abscess is associated with high mortality, despite the medical and surgical therapeutic options available. Surgical intervention is indicated in cases of heart failure or uncontrolled infection and sometimes for the prevention of embolic phenomena. We report a case of 42 yrs/M with RVHD admitted in Dr D.Y.Patil hospital, Kolhapur. He had high grade, continuous fever, vomiting, cough with expectoration since 15 days prior to admission. He had prior embolic stroke 2 months back from which he recovered completely. The diagnosis of Infective endocarditis was confirmed clinically & echocardiographically by Duke's criteria. His ECHO showed severe MR, Moderate MS and large vegetations on AML oscillating through mitral orifice along with subvalval (mitral) abscess. Due to severe haematemesis following Mallory weiss tear surgical intervention was not possible. Patient succumbed as a result of refractory pulmonary oedema.

Klebsiella pneumoniae in gastrointestinal tract and pyogenic liver abscess.

Project description:To determine the role of gastrointestinal carriage in Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess, we studied 43 patients. Bacterial isolates from liver and fecal samples from 10 patients with this condition and 7 healthy carriers showed identical serotypes and genotypes with the same virulence. This finding indicated that gastrointestinal carriage is a predisposing factor for liver abscess.

Liver abscess caused by magA+ Klebsiella pneumoniae in North America.

Project description:Taiwan has witnessed an emerging syndrome of liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying the magA gene required for exopolysaccharide web biosynthesis. We report a patient transferred from Alaska to Washington State with a magA(+) K. pneumoniae liver abscess and describe a simple approach for recognition of these hypervirulent strains.

Impact of Regional Vein Thrombosis in Patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess.

Project description:Klebsiella liver abscess (KLA) is an emerging infection in Asia caused by hypermucoviscous strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae. It is associated with thrombophlebitis of portal and hepatic veins. The natural history and role of anticoagulation for this regional thrombophlebitis is unclear. In a retrospective study of 169 subjects with KLA over 7 years, thrombophlebitis was identified in 53/169 (31.4%). Only 1 received therapeutic anticoagulation. Despite this 30/49 (73.2%) of those with follow up scan available showed improvement or recanalization (mean duration between scans 44 days). Abscess resolution was associated with improvement in thrombophlebitis.

The impact of aspirin on Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess in diabetic patients.

Project description:In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of aspirin on the risk of pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP-PLA) and invasive KP-PLA syndrome (IKPS) in diabetic patients. Diabetic patients who were propensity-score matched were retrospectively included from hospital-based database. Kaplan-Meier approach with a log-rank test was used to compare the cumulative incidences of KP-PLA including IKPS between aspirin users and non-users. Totally, 63,500 patients were analyzed after propensity-score matching (1:1). Compared with that of non-users, the incidence of KP-PLA was significantly reduced in aspirin users (0.31% vs. 0.50%, p?<?0.01), but not for that of IKPS (0.02% vs. 0.03%, p?=?0.29). Patients taking aspirin for???90 days had a significantly lower risk for KP-PLA (hazard ratio, 0.67; 95%CI, 0.50-0.90). Females, taking clopidogrel or metformin for???90 days, and taking H2-blockers or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for???5 days were also associated with a lower risk of KP-PLA. However, cholangitis and a glycated hemoglobin???8.5% were associated with an increased risk of KP-PLA.
