Treatment Strategies and Risk of Recurrence in Patients with Heart Valve Prosthesis, Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia, and Possible Endocarditis - A Retrospective Cohort Study
(2022) In Open Forum Infectious Diseases 9(7).- Abstract
Patients with heart valve prosthesis (HVP) and Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) are at risk for endocarditis. In this retrospective, population-based cohort study of 134 patients with SAB and HVP, 97 patients (72%) were diagnosed with possible endocarditis. Despite that most patients with possible endocarditis received short antibiotic treatment, only 3 patients suffered recurrent SAB.
