This was extremely informative and very interesting to watch. Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I feel like I understand IE a lot better now!
My husband had IE caused by strep. he refused to go to the doctor for weeks. he worked everyday. he almost died. he now has mesh in his ventricle and a pig valve(aortic) after open heart surgery. I would love to see a video on aftercare and protecting your gut from the super antiobiotics they give you during and after. i think he'd agree when I say it's the worst part of living your life after something of this.
I had IE in 1988. I was 14 years old and got it from cutting my ankle while shaving my legs. The one thing no one mentions was vomiting. I couldn't keep anything down. I had no Janeway lesions or any other lesions. Just throwing up and a very high fever. This scares me as all the regular symptoms are what I didn't have. I have a very small VSD and also a small aortic murmur. Six weeks in the hospital and my Drs. told my parents I was as close to being dead as you can get with out actually being there. This scares me.
i had IE was in great pain thought i was on my way out spent 2 months in 2 hospitals and thankfully the infection cleared up, but now i need to have my VSD closed with a 1% chance i will die on the table and less than 1% chance i will have a stroke, this scares me because i could (80%) live a full and happy infection free life without the surgery, i spoke to my surgeon about this and he thinks i really should have it, this all really sucks because i feel great.any words of comfort? IE BLOWS
Hi, my husband is 26 yrs. old and just had IE, which was caused by a strep bacteria, and he had open heart surgery to replace his aortic valve back in October 2014. His symptoms started after I cleaned his teeth (i'm in dental hygiene school) and he hadn't had a dental cleaning in 5-6 years. Little did we know that he had a congenital defect in his valve (his mom didn't even know). Anyways, fast forward to almost February and after never missing a single dose of IV antibiotics, doctors at a very well-known hospital in Atlanta cannot get rid of this infection. Then he ended up getting a nosocomial infection in his blood as well from the picc line. They take blood cultures almost everyday and are growing nothing in the cultures anymore, however he is STILL getting fevers of 103.7. I trust these doctors very well but the doctor told me he doesn't even know why there'd be no positive culture no but still high fevers. Have you ever heard of anything like this?
I don't know that there are ECG changes associated with Endocarditis. Myocarditis, on the other hand, will exhibit changes in ST, T wave or even QRS complexes.

+Suzanne Dion Has he been checked for funghi?
Yes, there are a few species of bacteria that are hard, almost impossible to grow on cultures (Tropheryma whipplei, Granulicatella, Abiotrophia, etc).

Suzanne Dion wow. sounds just like my husband except we don't know how the strep entered his body. I hope this finds your husband and you doing well.

Septic shock is a big clue here...
here's your comment. I already liked and subscribed.
You're welcome.
I don't know that there are ECG changes associated with Endocarditis. Myocarditis, on the other hand, will exhibit changes in ST, T wave or even QRS complexes.
You talk too rapid, your information is great but hard to retain the details.
