Infective endocarditis (IE) in dogs with cardiac shunts has not been reported previously.
However, we encountered a dog with concurrent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and IE. The
dog was a 1-year-old, 13.9-kg female Border collie and presented with anorexia, weight
loss, pyrexia (40.4°C) and lameness. A continuous murmur with maximal intensity over the
left heart base (Levine 5/6) was detected on auscultation. Echocardiography revealed a PDA
and severe aortic stenosis (AS) caused by aortic-valve vegetative lesions.
Corynebacterium spp. and Bacillus subtilis were
isolated from blood cultures. The dog responded to aggressive antibiotic therapy, and the
PDA was subsequently surgically corrected. After a series of treatments, the dog showed
long-term improvement in clinical status. 相似文献

Antisera against 4 strains of E. rhusiopathiae and against heart tissues from swine were raised in rabbits and used in gel double diffusion precipitation tests against 10 strains of E. rhusiopathiae of various origins and against heart tissues. Precipitation lines showing cross reactions were found in tests with one bacterial antiserum and with both tissue antisera tested. This indicates a similarity between the antigenic determinants of heart muscle and valves from swine and certain strains of E. rhusiopathiae. The possible relationship between the results and the virulence of the microorganisms is discussed. 相似文献

A 4-year-old female Boxer was suffering from aortic valve endocarditis with perforation of the right coronary cusp resulting in a flail aortic cusp and subsequent acute aortic insufficiency. This flail aortic cusp was observed on M mode and two-dimensional endocardiograms as a free linear echostructure in the left ventricular outflow tract. Although rarely observed, a free linear echostructure seems more specific of a flail aortic valve than a shaggy echostructure, which can represent a free moving vegetation and thus be confusing. Severe acute aortic insufficiency resulted in an uncommon abnormal mitral valve motion in the absence of early mitral diastolic opening. The absence of early mitral valve opening was thought to be a consequence of coupled aortic regurgitation, reduced left ventricular compliance, and presumably delayed mitral valve opening secondary to coronary artery occlusion. An exaggerated septal diastolic dip accounted for the decreased transmitral inflow. All the usual contractility parameters were within normal range; subsequently, mitral valve motion alterations seems to be more reliable indicators of left ventricular dysfunction during acute aortic insufficiency. 相似文献

An 18‐month‐old male Akita Inu dog developed fever and lameness 8 months after successful transcatheter closure of a patent ductus arteriosus with an Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO). Corynebacterium species were cultured from 3 blood samples. Echocardiography showed a vegetative process on the aortic valves. The dog died spontaneously 3 days after development of the initial signs. Necropsy confirmed the presence of bacterial ductal arteritis and myocarditis, and revealed an incomplete endothelialization of the intraductal metal implant. The reason for the lack of (neo)endothelialization of the ACDO remains unknown. We conclude that late‐onset bacterial device‐related ductal arteritis can develop in dogs where the implant is incompletely covered by a protective endothelial layer. 相似文献

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a gram-positive bacterial species that is utilised as a probiotic in humans and animals. There are no reports of infective endocarditis (IE) in dogs. An 8-year-old, spayed, female Maltese presented with a 1-month history of fever, depression, weight loss, and hindlimb lameness. Laboratory test results indicated non-regenerative anaemia, neutrophilia, hyperglobulinemia, and proteinuria. Echocardiography revealed vegetation on the septal leaflet of the mitral valve and thromboemboli in the left atrium. Consecutive blood culture results revealed that the blood samples were consistently positive for Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which is generally considered a probiotic bacterial species for animals. Broad-spectrum antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefotaxime) and anticoagulants (clopidogrel and rivaroxaban) were administered for 4 months. The clinical signs were responsive to antibiotic treatment. After 4 months, the dog was no longer febrile and the size of the thromboemboli in the left atrium had decreased. Bacteria were no longer isolated in blood cultures after antibiotic therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of canine IE caused by bactaeremic infection with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. 相似文献

Hypereosinophilic syndrome is an uncommon disorder in the cat. It is a heterogeneous group of conditions defined by a persistent hypereosinophilia associated with organ damage directly attributable to tissue hypereosinophilia. A seven-year-old castrated domestic shorthair cat presented to the emergency service for dyspnea. Initial physical examination identified the presence of a grade III/VI systolic left parasternal murmur with no gallop or arrhythmia. A snap N-terminal-pro hormone brain natriuretic peptide was abnormal, and a point-of-care ultrasound revealed mild pleural effusion, scant pericardial effusion, and an enlarged left atrium. There was leukemia (72.35 K/uL, reference range 4.5–15.7 K/uL) predominated by eosinophilia (33.84 K/uL; reference range 0–1.9 K/uL). On echocardiogram, there was concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricular walls with irregular endocardial borders. The left atrium was enlarged with evidence of spontaneous echogenic contrast. The mitral valve was thickened with a vegetative lesion on the anterior leaflet. Despite treatment, the patient experienced cardiopulmonary arrest, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was unsuccessful. Complete necropsy with histopathology revealed eosinophilic infiltrates in multiple organs and the presence of a severe, acute-on-chronic, fibrinous, and eosinophilic-granulomatous endomyocarditis with mural thrombosis and marked endocardial fibrosis. This case represents an unusual presentation of the hypereosinophilic syndrome in the cat with cardiac involvement and congestive heart failure as a primary clinical sign. 相似文献

Infectious endocarditis is a systemic disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. Clinical recognition and effective management is challenging, but insights can be gleaned from relevant pathologic features. Risk factors include subaortic stenosis, possibly certain other congenital anomalies, and bacteremia. Auscultation can provide clues regarding valvular involvment, particularly when a diastolic left basilar murmur of aortic valve regurgitation is present. Aortic valve vegetations and insufficiency may also alter femoral arterial pulse characteristics. Echocardiography may facilitate diagnosis, particularly with aortic valve lesions, but may not be able to distinguish between small mitral valve vegetations and early chronic degenerative valve disease. Vegetative lesions develop along edges of valve closure on the ventricular aspect of the aortic valve and the atrial surface of atrioventricular valves. They may extend across valve leaflet, from valves to adjacent left atrial endocardium, interventricular or interatrial septum, or chordae tendineae. Vegetations can be friable and frequently embolize to spleen, kidney, and left ventricle — often before clinical recognition of the disease. Valvular insufficiency develops as a consequence of valvular vegetations, necrosis, perforation, or rupture of the chordae tendineae. Histopathologic appearance varies with respect to duration of disease and antimicrobial therapy. These factors influence the amount of necrotic material, blood clot, fibrin, and inflammatory cells which make up the vegetations. Bacteria are not always identified in valvular lesions, especially following antibacterial therapy, but may be detected in other organs. Common sequellae include congestive heart failure, sepsis, arrhythmias, and systemic organ infarction. 相似文献

Lactococcus garvieae (LG) endocarditis is a rare disease in humans. There are only about 16 reported cases in the world. We report a 76‐year‐old male patient with LG endocarditis. In depth interview with the patient revealed that 2 weeks prior to admission, he had eaten sushi containing raw fish. Unlike many of the other infections reported, which were on a native mitral valve, our patient's vegetation was on a prosthetic aortic valve. 相似文献

A 2.5 year old Appaloosa stallion with progressive weight loss and a heart murmur was diagnosed as having vegetative endocarditis of the right atrioventricular valves with a mass in the right atrium. The ultrasonographic appearance of the lesion was characterized by extreme reverberation. On postmortem examination, a 9 cm diameter thrombus was found within the right atrium and auricle, occupying approximately 80% of the chamber volume. Additionally, a lenticular abscess extended throughout the parietal cusp of the right atrioventricular valve. Histologic examination revealed that the lesions were septic with numerous gram positive cocci in short chains, suggestive of Streptococcus equi , and gram negative rods. 相似文献

Abstract CASE HISTORY: A 10-year-old Friesian dairy cow presented with a history of weight loss, decreased milk production and fluid splashing on auscultation of the heart. Previous antibiotic therapy included oxytetracycline, marbofloxacin and penicillin. CLINICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS: Following a failure to respond to treatment, prescribed by the referring veterinarian for respiratory infection and septic arthritis, the cow was referred to Massey University Veterinary Teaching Hospital with suspected pericarditis. Clinical examination identified a predominantly left sided holodiastolic heart murmur with tachycardia and cording of the jugular veins. Cardiac ultrasound showed an enlarged aortic valve with turbulent blood flow and regurgitation, consistent with bacterial endocarditis. Blood culture demonstrated Paenibacillus spp. Due to the severity of the clinical signs and poor prognosis, euthanasia was performed and a post-mortem examination carried out. DIAGNOSIS: Traumatic reticuloperitonitis with abscessation of the reticulum and rumen wall, which progressed to a bacteraemia and presumptively caused endocarditis, endometritis, septic arthritis, and renal and myocardial infarcts due to emboli from the endocarditis lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: New Zealand dairy cattle are at risk of traumatic reticuloperitonitis and due to varying presentations diagnosis can be complicated. Subsequent bacteraemia is common and in this case the novel bacterial species Paenibacillus was implicated as a potential pathogen. 相似文献

The Gram positive bacterial coccus Streptococcus infantarius subspecies coli is increasingly linked with development of fatal vegetative infective endocarditis and septicemia in humans, sea otters (Enhydra lutris) and other animals. However, the pathogenesis of these infections is poorly understood. Using S. infantarius subsp. coli strains isolated from sea otters with infective endocarditis, this study evaluated adherence and invasion of epithelial and endothelial cells, adherence to extracellular matrix components, and macrophage survival. Significant adherence to endothelial-derived cells was observed for 62% of isolates, 24% adhered to epithelial cell lines, and 95% invaded one or both cell types in vitro. The importance of the hyaluronic acid capsule in host cell adherence and invasion was also evaluated. Capsule removal significantly reduced epithelial adherence and invasion for most S. infantarius subsp. coli isolates, suggesting that the capsule facilitates attachment to and invasion of epithelium. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay testing revealed that all isolates adhered significantly to the extracellular matrix components collagen IV, fibronectin, laminin and hyaluronic acid. Finally, significant bacterial survival following phagocytosis by macrophages was apparent for 81% of isolates at one or more time points. Taken collectively these findings indicate that S. infantarius subsp. coli has multiple pathogenic properties that may be important to host colonization, invasion and disease. 相似文献

In order to detect Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis antigen (EfaA) of bear that was used to disclose the infected Northeast Black bear immediately, a pair of PCR primers was synthesized by EfaA gene of Enterococcus faecalis that was recorded in GenBank (accession number:U03756.1) and the target fragment was 689 bp. The PCR product was cloned by pMD19-T vector, then was transferred to Escherichia coli DH5α competent cells and the positive clones were filtered. Recombinant plasmid (pMD19-T-EfaA) was extracted. Identification of PCR and digestion, sequencing, the structure prediction of proteins were operated. The results showed that EfaA gene was cloned successfully, and the gene homology with ATCC 29212 was 100.0%. pMD19-T-EfaA was constructed successfully, structure of proteins was predicted. This study provided theoretical basis for diagnostic methods of Enterococcus faecalis and laid basis for prevention and control of Northeast Black bear disease. 相似文献
