ABSTRACT
Introduction.
Infectious endocarditis (IE) is an infection in the heart's endocardial surface, indicating the presence of microorganisms in the lesion.
Material y Methods.
Retrospective cohort. Consecutive non-random sample in episodes of IE in children
‹14 years of age, Jan 2006 – Jun 2013. We registered
age, sex, risk factors for the community and nosocominal IE. The final evolution was measured based on heart surgical interventions, recurring
IE and complications: heart and kidney failure, neurological events, embolic and mortality.
Results.
We registered 34 episodes in 33 children, 100% defined IE using modified Duke Criteria. The isolated agents were from nosocomial origin in
96%, Staphylococcus (33%), gram negative bacilli (23%), Candida and Enterococcus (17%) . The age group with higher frequency was minors
aging under 1 year old. One case (2.9%) had an early IE recurrence and perished. We registered late mortality in 6 case (17.6%) with a mean of
96.8 days. Enterococcusfaecium was associated to higher mortality or the need of resection of vegetation (RR 3 I.C. 95% 0.85 – 10.6) the risk of
neurological events was higher when infected by Candidaalbicans (RR 8.7; 1.91-39.65). The incidence rate in IE in our hospital increased in the
past 2 years from 0.34 to 1.07 x 1000 admittances.
Discussion.
The microorganism involved is predictor of mortality or need of surgery, more than recurring IE.
