Heart's inner lining,
Infection takes its harsh toll,
Endocarditis strikes.

I had not appreciated that *Enterococcus* was no longer considered a common bacterial cause of infective endocarditis.
Means that some "Definite" cases now being reclassified as "Possible".
Also highlights need to use clinical judgement, not just criteria. #IDMastodon #MedMastodon #medicine #endocarditis #antibiotics #microbiology #infectiousdiseases

My stroke was 11-14-21 and on the anniversary I wondered why I'm still here. I almost died from #endocarditis, #sepsis, and then the #stroke. People say I must have something important to do but that freaks me out. I don't need any kind of expectations pushed on me.
I guess I'm glad to still be here. I'll see what I feel on 11-21-23.

An argument in favour of surgery being part of routine care of patients with Enterococcus endocarditis (crucially, if fit enough for it).

I’m working on a complex #Endocarditis case and some kind and brilliant physician has actually documented #Glomerulonephritis right there in the chart. #Grateful to the #Cardiologist who documented it and the #Nephrologist that found it in the first place. Made my job quick work and the patient is getting obvious great care.
