Background: The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) among people who inject drugs (PWID) is rising worldwide. Multiple clinical guidelines differ on the management of this condition, and few guidelines comment on treatment for primary substance use disorder (SUD). A comprehensive comparison of these guidelines is lacking.Objectives: To perform a critical review identifying key differences in clinical guideline recommendations for treating IE among PWID, focusing on the inclusion of recommendations for SUD treatment and the presence of stigmatizing language.Eligibility Criteria: Recently published, English-language, society-developed clinical guidelines for the treatment of IE among PWID.

Infectious endocarditis (IE) represents an inflammation of the heart endothelium usually as a result of bacterial colonization after trauma. Splenic abscess is a rare and dangerous extracardiac manifestation of IE. An expert multidisciplinary collaboration is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment strategy of this high-risk and challenging disease. Valvuloplasty and splenectomy are the mainstay of radical treatment and offer excellent long-term results. We present two cases with infectious endocarditis, complicated with splenic abscesses, which were successfully operated in the Department of Cardiac Surgery.

Infectious endocarditis is multisystem disease, which is the result of the infection (usually bacterial) of endocardial heart surface. Despite of the latest medical achievements in diagnostics and treatment, infectious endocarditis is still a disease with high mortality rate and severe complications. During last decades in developed countries there are obvious changes of demographic characteristics of the patients with infectious endocarditis, namely increasing of aged patients with degenerative valvular diseases, of patients with anamnesis of invasive manipulations and procedures. Beside with well known risk factors (artificial valves and implanted heart devices), there are increasing roles of injectible drug-dependence, human immunodeficiency virus and wide contact with health protection system as predisposing factors for infectious endocarditis. The article contains literature data of the main populational risk groups of infectious endocarditis. Clinical case of severe (fatal) infectious endocarditis in patient with injectible drug dependence is submitted. Special features of the case are peripheral dry necroses of feet, arms, nose, which are very close to the description of symmetrical peripheral gangrene. This rare disorder was first described by Hutchinson in 1891 in 37-year old man, who had gangrene of fingers, hands and ears after shock. Symmetrical peripheral gangrene can be induced by different infection and non-inflection causes. The majority of these cases are connected to the treatment of cardiogenic shock with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Submitted description of the case of symmetrical peripheral gangrene in patient with infectious endocarditis will be useful for different medical care specialists as a reminder of the necessity of constant monitoring of the skin color of the distal parts of the limbs in severe sick patients.

Abstract: Although it is was not included in the ESC 2015 Modified Duke Criteria, "new valvular regurgitation (Worsening or changing or pre-existing murmur not sufficient)" was included as a major echocardiographic criterion in the original Modified Duke Criteria (3).
