“…GDS IE affects the elderly more frequently than does OS IE or staphylococcal IE [29][30][31]. The results of the present study are in accordance with these previous findings, and with recent relevant observations within the merged International Collaboration on Endocarditis database [9].…”

“…However, these findings were discounted by Kupferwasser et al [31], and the incidence of embolisation in the present study did not differ between OS and GDS IE, in line with other recent data [9]. Cardiac failure, surgical treatment for IE, and in-hospital mortality rates were similar for the GDS and OS groups in the current analysis, as well as in most previous studies [29]. Taking into account the fact that GDS IE affects primarily the elderly and individuals with co-morbidities, in-hospital mor-tality rates were relatively low (<13%), i.e., far lower than those for Staph.…”

“…Data concerning embolic manifestations of GDS IE are also conflicting. Some studies have reported that embolic complications and metastatic foci are more frequent in GDS IE [22,29,32], and that both GDS and Staph. aureus IE are associated with higher rates of embolisation [35].…”

“…Data collection was satisfactory and there was no evidence of under-reporting by the participating physicians during the period of the study. Single-centre studies frequently analyse a small number of cases [29,32] and are prone to referral bias. In the present study, the proportion of GDS IE cases (25%) is one of the highest described to date [2].…”

The proportion of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by group D streptococci (GDS; formerly Streptococcus bovis) increased markedly in France, to account for 25% of all cases of IE by 1999. In an attempt to explain this phenomenon, a comparative analysis of GDS and oral streptococci (OS) causing IE was performed. This study was based on data collected from a large cross-sectional population-based survey that was conducted in 1999. In total, 559 cases of definite IE were recorded, of which 142 involved GDS and 79 involved OS. Patients with GDS IE were older (62.7 vs. 56.6 years, p 0.01) and had a history of valve disease less frequently than did patients with OS IE (33.8% vs. 67.1%, p <0.0001). At-risk procedures for IE were performed less frequently in patients with GDS than in patients with OS (14.8% vs. 24.1%, p 0.08), but co-morbidities were more frequent in the GDS group (59.9% vs. 32.9%, p 0.0001). Diabetes, colon diseases and cirrhosis were also more frequent in the GDS group (p 0.006, p <0.0001 and p 0.08, respectively). Rural residents accounted for 31.0% of the GDS group, but for only 15.2% of the OS group (p 0.001). Likewise, the proportion of GDS IE was higher in regions with mixed (urban and rural) populations (Franche-Comté 81.8%, Marne 68.7%, Lorraine 70.3% and Rhône-Alpes 65.3%) than in exclusively urban regions (Paris and Ile de France 58.0%). Further investigations are required to elucidate the link in France between the incidence of GDS IE, rural residency and nutritional factors.

“…[9][10][11][12] Although it is generally thought to be increased, the exact prevalence of colon cancer associated with S. bovis endocarditis is unclear and is difficult to estimate from the existing literature. Table 2 lists the studies 2,5,7,8,[13][14][15][16][17][18] reporting on the association of S. bovis bacteremia and colorectal neoplasia involving a minimum of 10 cases. Data were extracted from all listed studies that reported specifically on the presence or absence of colorectal cancer in those with IE.…”

Background Infective endocarditis (IE) continues to be associated with great challenges. Embolic events (EE) are frequent and life‐threatening complications in IE patients. It remains challenging to predict and assess the embolic risk in individual patients with IE accurately. Hypothesis Accurate prediction of embolization is critical in the early identification and treatment of risky and potentially embolic lesions in patients with IE. Methods We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases using a range of related search terms, and reviewed the literatures about the pathogenesis and embolic predictors of IE. Results The development of IE and its complications is widely accepted as the result of complex interactions between microorganisms, valve endothelium, and host immune responses. The predictive value of echocardiographic characteristics is the most powerful for EE. In addition, both easily obtained blood biomarkers such as C‐reactive protein, mean platelet volume, neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio, anti‐β2‐glycoprotein I antibodies, D‐Dimer, troponin I, matrix metalloproteinases, and several microbiological or clinical characteristics might be promising as potential predictors of EE. Conclusion Our review provides a synthesis of current knowledge regarding the pathogenesis and predictors of embolism in IE along with a review of potentially emerging biomarkers.
