Recently, changes have been reported in incidence, agents and risk factors for endocarditis <span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span>. In the past, rheumatic fever was a very frequent cause of endocarditis and has been disappearing in western countries. Congenital heart disease (with or without surgery) has remained the major risk factor for endocarditis in children. Other risk factors for endocarditis include serious systemic underlying illness and congenital and acquired immunodeficiency. There has been a steadily increase in the number of children with these problems who would also be at risk for endocarditis. In spite of progress in diagnostic techniques and treatment, infective endocarditis continues to be difficult to diagnose in children.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The first objective of this study was to evaluate the etiology, epidemiology, pathogens and evolution of a cohort of pediatric patients with endocarditis. The second objective was to compare their main characteristics to our previously published experience.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Material and methods</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">A retrospective cohort study was conducted. All children less than 18 years of age diagnosed with endocarditis at the CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal, Canada, between January 1986 and December 2000 were included in the study. Seventy eligible patients with endocarditis were identified through medical records according to the codes of the 9<span class="elsevierStyleSup">th</span> Revision of the International Classification of the Diagnosis. There were fourteen cases who did not fulfill the Durack's <span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> criteria and were excluded. Patients who fulfilled Duke's <span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> criteria for endocarditis at the time of discharge were included in the study.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Patient information was recorded retrospectively by a single investigator (GL) using a standardized case report form. Data collected included: demographic characteristics, symptoms, signs, previous medical condition, history of congenital heart disease, presence of a central venous catheter and diagnosis at the time of admission to the hospital. Other data included were: white blood cell (WBC) count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), blood culture(s) and echocardiography results. Antibiotic therapy, length of hospital stay, surgery and evolution of the disease were also noted.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">When available, pathological and autopsy results were reviewed. In patients who underwent cardiac surgery or autopsy, diagnostic confirmation was done by direct observation of the cardiac injuries and vegetations. Material obtained was evaluated by anatomopathological, bacteriological study and culture.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Characteristics of the recent series of 1986-2000 were compared to our previous experience of 1960-1985 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span>.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold"> Definitions</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> Anemia</span>: haemoglobin less than 120 g/L. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> Leukocytosis</span>: WBC > 15.0 x 10 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span>/L. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Thrombocytopenia</span>: platelets < 140 x x 10 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span>/L. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Erythrocyte sedimentation rate</span> (ESR): considered abnormal if > 20 mm/h.

Mean age was 7 years and ten months (range: 19 days to 18 years). Fifty-four percent of the patients were male. Risk factors for endocarditis are shown in figure 1. Clinical symptoms and signs are summarized in table 1. Nine children (16 %) did not have fever at the time of presentation of the infection: premature infants in neonatal intensive care (2 patients), immunodeficiency (3 patients), chronic disease (1 patient), congenital heart disease associated with other malformations (2 patients) and one healthy child. In our recent series, the incidence of fever, cutaneous and neurological signs were seen more frequently than in our past experience (84 % vs. 54 %, 32 % vs. 19 %, and 38 vs. 27 %, respectively). Fatigue and splenomegaly were less frequent (48 % vs. 95 % and 25 % vs. 46 %, respectively); the incidence of embolic phenomenon was similar (20 % vs. 19 %, respectively). The prevalence of endocarditis was 1.5 cases / year for the period 1960-1985 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> and 4 cases / year for the period 1986-2000.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><img src="37v63n05-13080403tab01.gif"></img></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Figure 1.</span><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Risk factors and underlying diseases in 56 patients with infectious endocarditis.

At the time of admission to hospital, endocarditis was suspected in 20 of the 51 patients (40 %) who had acquired the infection in the community. Other diagnosis at admission were bacteremia or fever of unknown origin (12 cases = 23.5 %), pneumonia-sinusitis (5 cases = 9.8 %), septic shock (4 cases = 7.8 %), meningitis (3 cases = 5.8 %), and others (5 cases = 9.8 %). A patient underwent surgery for suspected appendicitis; another one was treated for several months with an erroneous diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Forty-four patients were diagnosed using clinical signs and cardiac echocardiography. Ten cases diagnosed on clinical grounds were also confirmed with pathologic examination after surgery. Two cases who were not initially suspected, were subsequently diagnosed based on pathologic examination. Median duration of time to confirm the diagnosis of endocarditis was one day.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Thirty-five patients had congenital heart disease (62.5 %) (fig. 1). Of those, 21 patients (60 %) had undergone cardiac surgery. Three children with congenital heart disease developed endocarditis in the early postoperative period within two months of the surgery. One patient had undergone cardiac catheterization two months before the diagnosis of endocarditis was made. Ten patients had a central venous catheter. A total of 16 patients had vascular prostheses (coils, Hancock, Gore-Tex, Dacron, animal or homologous graft). Four patients had pre-existing cardiac disease that was not diagnosed until they presented with endocarditis: three had aortic valve anomalies and one an aortic coarctation. These four patients have been included in the group of children with heart disease (fig. 1). The diagnosis of endocarditis was made following varicella in two patients and dental manipulation in five.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold"> Hematology</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Increased WBC was present in only 28.5 % of the patients.

Cultures were sterile in six children. Five of those six patients were receiving antibiotics at the time the blood culture was obtained. An average of 3 blood cultures were collected from each patient (median of 2 and range: 0 to 13). The pathogens isolated in the patients are shown in table 2. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> Staphylococcus aureus</span> was found in 12 patients (24 % of all positive blood cultures), and only one of those died. Four of the six healthy children had an infection with <span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> S. aureus</span> (66.7 %). One patient hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit with a history of necrotizing enterocolitis and ileostomy had a positive blood culture for <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Candida albicans</span>. Aspergillus was found on pathological study of a valve in a single patient. This patient had congenital heart disease and had been treated for osteomyelitis complicated with an endocarditis who did not respond to medical treatment. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Enterococcus</span> spp. alone was not responsible for any case of endocarditis in our series, but was associated with another pathogen (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S. epidermidis</span>) in a patient with endocarditis in the intensive care unit.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><img src="37v63n05-13080403tab03.gif"></img></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold"> Echocardiography</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">One patient with trisomy 18 and congenital heart disease, died before echocardiography was performed. Echocardiography was positive in 36 of the 55 patients who underwent this examination (65.4 %). During the time transesophageal echocardiography has been used, there were 28 cases of endocarditis and this technique was used in 46.4 % of the patients. At the time of the diagnosis of endocarditis, echocardiographic anomalies were located on the right side of the heart in 11 patients and on the left side in 18. In several cases, the vegetations were not present at the initial examination, but were seen on follow-up examinations. Thirty-one patients had obvious vegetation present on ultrasound. Three patients had vegetations in two valves. The mitral valve (fig. 2) was more frequently involved (13 patients). Anomalies in other structures were: tricuspid valve (6 patients), aortic valve (5 patients) (fig. 3), right atrium (4 patients), coronary sinus (1 patient) and pulmonary valve (1 patient). In four patients, anomalies were located in the ventricular septal defect. The six healthy children presented with anomalies located only in the left side of the heart.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><img src="37v63n05-13080403fig04.jpg"></img></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold"> Figure 2.</span><span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> Vegetation on mitral valve.

Thirteen patients completed antibiotic therapy at home after their medical condition had been stabilized. There were no recurrences.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Evolution was favorable in 30 patients who responded to medical treatment. Significant complications occurred in 26 patients (46 %) (table 3). Children who had risk factors either central venous catheters or valvular prostheses (20/26) preceding the diagnosis of endocarditis, developed more complications (p < 0.03) than those who did not. Complications secondary to endocarditis decreased significantly: from 85.7 % in 1960-1985 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> to 46.4 % in 1986-2000 (p < 0.001). Embolic phenomena were seen in 11 children (20 %). One child developed a central nervous system complication (cerebro-vascular accident) secondary to a mycotic aneurism. Three patients developed respectively, cardiac tamponnade, acute tubular necrosis, and nodules in the lungs and liver. Twelve patients (21 %) needed surgery during the initial hospitalization, including valvular surgery in six children, removal of vegetation in four, and replacement of vascular patch or fistula in two. Of the six healthy children without pre-existing heart disease, five developed complications: three had a mycotic aneurism and two cerebral emboli. Three of these patients needed surgery.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><img src="37v63n05-13080403tab06.gif"></img></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Mortality secondary to endocarditis decreased significantly: from 27.0 % in 1960-1985 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> to 12.5 % in 1986-2000. Seven children died; all were older than six years of age (table 3). Four patients died of early complications of their endocarditis. Two children died in the pediatric intensive care unit with multiple organ failure. One patient died with trisomy 18 and congenital heart disease. Three of the patients who died had congenital heart disease (3/35, 8.5 % mortality rate), three had another systemic underlying disease other than cardiac pathology and only one patient was healthy with normal cardiac anatomy.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">According to Duke's <span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> criteria, the cases of infectious endocarditis were considered either definitive (24 patients) or possible (32 patients). According to the modified criteria by Li <span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span>, the patients would have been classified as definitive endocarditis (24 patients), possible (29 patients) and three cases would have been rejected. These three patients had complex congenital heart disease. Two of them had had previous cardiac surgery and one had undergone cardiac catheterization. These three patients presented with only two minor criteria: heart disease and prolonged fever; they were treated as possible endocarditis.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Discussion</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Despite being a rare infection, our recent experience shows an increased prevalence of endocarditis; this is in agreement with other authors <span class="elsevierStyleSup"> 6,8</span>. In addition to an increased survival following cardiac surgery, there are other risk factors considered as predisposing conditions for infective endocarditis <span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span>. Improvement of resuscitation methods and newer technologies introduced in intensive care units for newborns and very ill children, have created a new group of patients with an increased risk of endocarditis <span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,4</span>. Twenty-five percent of the patients had a serious systemic underlying disease or underlying malignancy. Patients with immunodeficiency can present without fever. Central venous catheters increase the risk of endocarditis and are a frequent cause of nosocomial infections <span class="elsevierStyleSup">9-12</span>. Healthy children, without pre-existing heart disease or other risk factor, constitute 8-10 % of the cases of endocarditis in the literature <span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span>; in our series, it was 10.7 %. Frequently, in these cases, the endocarditis is secondary to bacteremia with <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S. aureus</span> and has a worse prognosis <span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span>. Dental alterations or manipulations were important risk factors in our first series (17 cases = 46 %), as compared to the present study (5 cases = 9 %), probably secondary to better dental follow-up.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In our recent study, congenital heart disease continues to be the most common risk factor for endocarditis (before or after surgery) when tissues weaves or prosthesis have been implanted. As in the literature <span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span>, tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great vessels continue to be the most frequent cyanotic heart disease involved in endocarditis. In the non cyanotic heart diseases, ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction are the most important underlying conditions <span class="elsevierStyleSup"> 13</span>.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The clinical presentation continues to be non specific and the diagnosis is difficult. The extra-cardiac manifestations that are frequent in adults are rare in children, with the exception of embolic, neurologic and cutaneous phenomena. The pediatrician must have a great index of suspicion for endocarditis in children with fever and underlying cardiac abnormalities. The presence of a pathologic heart murmur in a child who presents to the emergency room with fever should rise the possibility of endocarditis; however, absence of an heart murmur does not rule out this diagnosis <span class="elsevierStyleSup"> 14</span>.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The WBC is non specific for the diagnosis of endocarditis. In our experience, 71 % and 33 % of our patients had a normal WBC and hemoglobin, respectively. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was elevated in a significant proportion of patients with endocarditis; nevertheless, it can be normal at the time of the initial visit or admission to the hospital. In our center, we obtained an average of three blood cultures, in concordance with the recommendations of the literature <span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,15</span>. In 89 % of patients, the blood cultures were positive; a similar rate has been reported in the litterature <span class="elsevierStyleSup"> 3</span>. Some authors report that <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S. aureus</span> causes 12 % of endocarditis cases, with a mortality of 40 % <span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span>. Recently, Fowler <span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> and colleagues published a study of 1800 adult patients from 16 different countries, reporting that <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S. aureus</span> was the pathogen in 31.4 % of their cases of endocarditis. In our series, twelve children were infected with <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S. aureus</span> (24 %) and only one of these patients died. In our study, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Streptococcus viridans</span> continues to be the most frequent pathogen (30 %). Another recent study <span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span> reports that <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S. viridans</span> is the most frequent pathogen of endocarditis in adults.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Echocardiography was positive in 64 % of our patients, similar to what has been reported in the literature <span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span>. Sensitivity of transthoracic echocardiography in pediatric patients is 86 % for general cardiac examination and 93 % to identify vegetation <span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span>. The heart ultrasound must be repeated to demonstrate vegetation; sometimes on the first examination an echogenic mass is seen, and in a later examination, the vegetation is evident <span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span>. A transoesophageal echocardiography must be considered in pediatric patients with sub optimal transthoracic window or when vegetations are not detected by conventional ultrasound <span class="elsevierStyleSup"> 18,19</span>.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In our series, the diagnosis and treatment were established for most patients within the first 24 hours after admission, as mentioned in the literature <span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span>. There were some patients who had a delayed diagnosis, up to two months demonstrating that endocarditis diagnosis can still be difficult <span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span>. Risk factors for complications mentioned in the literature include type of infectious pathogen, location and size of the vegetation, previous cardiac conditions, heart with a pre-existing normal anatomy, and children less than 2 years of age <span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span>. The complications were statistically more frequent only in patients with risk factors preceding the diagnosis of endocarditis. In our experience (table 3), complications related to endocarditis have decreased over time: from 85.7 % in 1960-1985 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> to 46.4 % in 1986-2000.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Theyjeh <span class="elsevierStyleSup"> 17</span> et al reported a thirty year study in which the incidence of endocarditis and mortality remained stable. Children less than 2 years of age had an increased risk of mortality compared to older children <span class="elsevierStyleSup">20,21</span>. In our experience (table 3), mortality related to endocarditis has drastically decreased over the years: from 27 % in 1960-1985 <span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> to 12.5 % in 1986-2000. According to Coward <span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span> et al, mortality in children with congenital heart disease is now 12.5 % and according to Li <span class="elsevierStyleSup"> 13</span> et al of 2-9 %; in our recent experience it has been 8.5 %. Mortality in healthy children without pre-existing heart disease has dropped from 55.6 % <span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> to 16.7 %.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In conclusion: Endocarditis is a rare infection. The pediatrician must know that children with immunodeficiency or central venous catheters have an increased risk of developing endocarditis. Healthy children can have significant complications. In the recent series, complications and mortality have diminished considerably because of better echocardiographic techniques, efficient use of antibiotics and improved supportive measures during the course of the infection.</p>" "pdfFichero" => "37v63n05a13080403pdf001.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec313408" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Endocarditis" 1 => "Niños" 2 => "Cardiopatía congénita" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec313407" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Endocarditis" 1 => "Children" 2 => "Congenital heart disease" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ "resumen" => "Objectives: To evaluate the epidemiology, etiology and evolution of a cohort of infants and children with endocarditis and to compare their main characteristics to that of our previously published experience. Material and methods: Patients less than 18 years of age diagnosed with endocarditis at the CHU Sainte-Justine of Montreal, between January 1986 and December 2000. The recent case series was compared to our previous experience of 1960-1985. Results: 56 children with endocarditis were included: 35 children with congenital heart disease, 15 with serious systemic underlying disease and 6 healthy children. Mean age was 7 years and ten months. Male sex: 54 % of the cases. The prevalence of endocarditis increased from 1.5 cases/year to 4 cases/year in the previous vs. recent case series, respectively. In the present series, ten patients (17.9 %) had a central venous catheter. Sixteen (28.6 %) patients had a vascular prosthesis. Blood cultures were positive in 50 patients (89 %) with Streptococci spp. in 48 % and Staphylococci spp. in 34 % of cases. Echocardiography was positive in 36 of 55 patients (65.4 %). All children were treated with intravenous antibiotics for an average of 43 ± 15 days. There were no recurrences. Significant complications developed in 26 patients (46 %). Embolic phenomena were seen in 11 children (20 %). Twelve patients (21 %) needed surgery. Of the six healthy children, five developed complications. Overall, seven children (12.5 %) died; all were older than six years of age. Comparing our experience of 1960-1985 to 1986-2000, morbidity and mortality has decreased from 85.7 % to 46.4 % and from 27 % to 12.5 %, respectively. Conclusions: Pediatricians must recognize that children with underlying immunodeficiency and those with central venous catheters have an increased risk of endocarditis. Healthy children with endocarditis have a greater risk of complications. The morbidity and mortality of endocarditis has decreased considerably in recent years." ] "es" => array:1 [ "resumen" => "Objetivos: Evaluar la epidemiología, los agentes etiológicos y la evolución de la endocarditis en una serie de pacientes pediátricos y comparar las principales características a nuestra experiencia anterior.
