Abstract:
:Due to changing characteristics of infective endocarditis in the past two decades, we, retrospectively analysed 28 cases of infective endocarditis in children of age less than 15 years at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, Srinagar from December, 1983 to November, 1993. The incidence of disease was observed as 1.5 cases/1000 children admitted with a M:F ratio of 2:1. Three patients were of age less than 2 years (group I) as 25 were above 2 years of age (group II). The two groups had significant difference in portal of entry of infection, infective microorganisms, echocardiography and prognosis. Congenital heart disease was the commonest underlying cardiac lesion in 24 (85.71%) patients. Portal of entry of infection was apparent in 35.71% only; dental route being more frequent in group II. Streptococcus viridans (in 9 cases) followed by staphylococcus aureus (in 4 cases) were the two common organisms isolated. Patients were treated, for a period of 4-6 weeks with a over all mortality rate of 25%. Factors associated with poor prognosis were age < 2 years, staphylococcal infection ad negative blood cultures. Heart failure resistant to medical therapy was a leading cause of death.
