| Core Tip |
This review and illustrative case show a temporal change in the epidemiology of Haemophilus parainfluenzae (HPI) infective endocarditis within the recent 2 decades (2000-2022). Compared to a review of twenty-six HPI endocarditis cases from the years 1984 to 1995 by Darras-Joly et al, this review reported a younger mean age, a similar rate of infection in both genders, a shorter time to diagnosis, a higher association with intravenous drug use (IVDU), a higher rate of embolic events in general, tricuspid and pulmonic valves involvement. The rate of mitral valve involvement has remained steady over the past 3 decades while there has been a decrease in the rate of aortic valve involvement. There has been a decrease in valvular vegetation rates and incidence of congestive heart failure as complications while the mortality rate remained similar. These findings might indicate the improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of HPI over the past 3 decades; however, they also suggest an increase in its virulence and an association with the rising rate of IVDU highlighted by the involvement of the right-sided heart valves. |
