Lower specificity of the ESC2023 diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis when spondylodiscitis is regarded as a vascular phenomenon

Sunnerhagen, Torgny LU orcid and Rasmussen, Magnus LU orcid (2024) In Clinical Infectious Diseases 79(3). p.612-614
Abstract
The ESC diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis (IE) added spondylodiscitis as minor diagnostic criterion. Of patients with Staphylococcus aureus, streptococcal or Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia, 11 of 1807 episodes were reclassified to definite IE of which nine were not treated as IE. Spondylodiscitis as a minor criterion decreases specificity of the criteria.
