Resistance to Antibiotics, Complications, and Mortality of Infective Endocarditis in a Consecutive Cohort of 178 Cases
Infective endocarditis was diagnosed more frequently in urban areas, in male, and those aged older than 60 years. Previous valvopathies was most common associated disease, and aortic native valve was the most affected. Persistent infection and inflammation were predictors for bad prognosis in patients with infective endocarditis. The top 3 highest frequencies pathogens were Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., and Streptococcus spp., and an increase in antibiotic resistance has been recorded.
