1 Prosthetic Valve Infective Endocarditis Tat Yam Department of Infection Southampton University Hospitals NHS TRust

2 Case History: Episode 1 in MB 73 yr old male, Nigerian PMHx: Hypertension Congestive cardiac failure TURP April 2009 at DGH X with suprapubic urinary catheter situ because of traumatic transurethral catheterisation Suprapubic catheter replaced in Aug 2009 Enterococci in CSU Aug 2009 but antibiotic not given Last travel to Nigeria May /09/09 Admitted to local DGH Y c/o intermittent pyrexia and wt loss >10kg since TURP and 2 weeks h/o progressive dyspnoea; 1 splinter haemorrhage in thumb nail

3 o/e Temp 38.3C; O2 sat 94% on air, RR 25 WCC 16.2; ESR 79 bibasal pleural effusion??diastolic murmur Investigations: Blood cultures X 3 USS liver ECHO Urinary pneumococcal antigen Blood film for malaria HIV, Hep B & C Sputum for MC+S and AFBs Resp review How would you manage this patient at this stage?

4 Initial treatment: IV Benzyl penicillin 1.2 G qds and oral doxycycline 11/09/09 Streptococci in blood culture reported Would you change the initial treatment?

5 11/09/09 Changed to IV benzyl penicillin 1.2G 4hrly 12/09/09 Identified as Enterococcus faecalis in all 6 bottles of BCs Would you change the current antibiotic regimen?

6 12/09/09 Enterococcus faecalis in all 6 bottles of BCs (penicillin mic 1.0; amoxicillin mic 0.5) Switched to iv amoxicillin 2G 4hrly and iv gentamicin 1mg/kg (70mg) bd 17/09/09 Unsuccessful attempt of TOE due to cricoid spasm TTE showed severe AR and severe MR with rupture of chordae; large vegetations on AMVL & NCC of AoV; Highly suspicious of aortic root abscess

7 21/09/09 Transferred to regional cardiac centre due to worsening cardiac function and pulmonary oedema 25/09/09 tavr, tmvr, TV repair, reconstruction of aorto mitral fibrous skeleton, LA roof repair with 2 bovine patches Findings: Aortic noncoronary cusp completely destroyed and ruptured into ventricle; Vegetations present in other 2 leaflets; One large and one smaller hole with vegetations in aorto mitral fibrous curtain; Vegetations in both anterior and posterior leaflet of mitral valve. Culture of tissue & valves: no growth

8 28/09/09 Day 3 post op Pyrexia 38.5 C Anuric and septic with VAP Blood cultures & ETA sent CXR bibasal collapse and consolidation How would you manage the patient now in terms of antibiotic treatment?

9 28/09/09 Amoxicillin and gent dose reduced IV ciprofloxacin for 5 days Blood cultures no growth; coliforms (NLF) in ETA Both mitral and aortic valve cultures negative 01/10/09 Extubated; ciprofloxacin stopped For 4 weeks of iv amoxicillin and gent post op T/F back to DGH Y; CRP 29 on 26/10/09

10 Note: No records of any extra surgical prophylaxis given apart from treatment regimen of iv amoxicillin and gentamicin Should prophylaxis have been given? If so, which agents?

11 Episode 2 18/01/10 Readmitted to DGH Y with increasing SOBOE, coughing up frothy phlegm Bilateral pleural effusion 19/01/10 TTE: MV dehiscence Blood cultures taken

12 22/01/10 (Friday) 7 out of 8 BC bottles yielded Staph epidermidis (MSSE) Was to start high dose iv flucloxacillin (but did not happen) 23/09/10 (in early hours) T/F regional cardiac centre on no antibiotics Further BCs taken and started on iv vancomycin and gentamicin empirically on micro advice 25/01/10 (Monday) Initial BC results received from DGH Sens to meticillin (oxacillin mic 0.19 e test) and vancomycin Resistant to fusidic acid, gentamicin (mic 8.0) and rifampicin; temp 38.3; CRP climbing Further 4 out of 6 BCs bottles taken on 23/09 now positive Based on this information, would you change antibiotic treatment?

13 25/01/10 (Monday) Switched iv vancomycin to high dose iv flucloxacillin 27/01/10 Further blood cultures yielded heterogenous Staph epidermidis Ox resist mic >256, Gent mic 16 Isolate from initial BCs retested and confirmed Ox resistance. Switched back to iv vancomycin and gentamicin 28/01/10 Redo AVR & MVR, reconstruction to LA/aorta (9.5 hours long) False aneurysm between aorta and LA Same Staph epidermidis isolated from AV and tissue

14 S. epidermidis Hosp Y Isolate 1 Isolate 2 MV tissue BC 19/01 BC 23/01 BC 23/01 28/01/10 Fluclox R; >256 R; >256 R; >256 R Erythro R S R R Vanc S; 0.75 S; 1.0 S; 1.5 S Teico S S S S Gent R; 8.0 R R R Rifamp R R R R Fusidic R R R R Doxy R R R R Cipro R R R R Dapto 0.19

15 15/02/10 Good post op recovery. PPM inserted for CHB. CRP 14 In view of the presence of large amount of prosthesis (double tissue valves & two bovine patches); presence of viable organism at the time of redo surgery, what is your long term treatment plan?

16 15/02/10 Good post op recovery. PPM inserted for CHB. CRP 14 28/02/10 Discharge back to DGH Y to complete a total of 8 weeks iv vancomycin and gentamicin post op; CRP 4 Aim vancomycin pre dose level 15 20mg/l Followed by 3 mth of po doxy 100mg bd and R/V 20/04/10 R/V at Cardiac OP No issues. TTE satisfactory

17 Note: It was only revealed in later discussion that there was MRSE in 1 out of 7 sets of blood cultures at DGH Y. This piece of information was not passed on at the first instance.

18 Episode 3 19/05/10 Admitted to local DGH Y with 1wk h/o SOBOE, malaise, Several splinter haemorrhages both thumb nails, bilateral pleural effusion, WCC 13, ESR 48, CRP 70 Levofloxacin by GP Still on po doxy 100mg bd; started on empiric iv vanc and gent T/F regional cardiac centre 20/05/10 What is your empirical treatment of choice?

19 Started on empiric iv vanc and gent 25/05/10 Low grade temp 37.5C, CRP 136, WCC 14.6 Heterogenous coagulase negative staph in BCs taken on 19, 20, 21/05 Vanc pre dose level 22.7,?treatment failure What would you do with antibiotic treatment?

20 25/05/10 Switched to iv vanc and gent to iv daptomycin 500mg (~6mg/kg) od 26/05/10 TTE: severe mitral dehisence with vegetations plus aortic paravalvular leak 27/05/10 Vanc mic 4.0; gent mic 16.0; dapto mic 0.5 CRP still high 144. Increased dapto to 850mg (~10mg/kg) od Note: surgeon in charge of this case was on annual leave at this time.

21 03/06/10 CRP 237; deranged LFTs, bili 78, Alk phos 291, ALT 354?On going sepsis/ie;?antibiotic related. Iv daptomycin reduced back to 500mg od Surgery cancelled 16/06/10 CRP 68; bili 94, Alk phos 80, ALT 48 Still on iv daptomycin 500mg od 2 nd redo AVR, MVR and reconstruction of LA/Aortic root (11 hours) Same Staph epidermidis isolated from both valves and patch Multi system failure developed. RIP on 17/06/10
