“…Most cases of pregnant IE reported in the literature have a bacterial infection as a microbiological substrate, with rare cases of fungi underlying this potentially fatal complication for both mother and fetus [ 67 , 68 ]. IE with fungal pathogens such as Zygomycetes are frequently nosocomial, secondary to prolonged antibiotic therapy or intravenous catheterization [ 69 , 70 ].…”

The diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) during pregnancy is accompanied by a poor prognosis for both mother and fetus in the absence of prompt management by multidisciplinary teams. We searched the electronic databases of PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE for clinical studies addressing the management of infective endocarditis during pregnancy, with the aim of realizing a literature review ranging from risk factors to diagnostic investigations to optimal therapeutic management for mother and fetus alike. The presence of previous cardiovascular pathologies such as rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, prosthetic valves, hemodialysis, intravenous catheters or immunosuppression are the main risk factors predisposing patients to IE during pregnancy. The identification of modern risk factors such as intracardiac devices and intravenous drug administration as well as genetic diagnostic methods such as cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) next-generation sequencing require that these cases be addressed in multidisciplinary teams. Guiding treatment to eradicate infection and protect the fetus simultaneously creates challenges for cardiologists and gynecologists alike.

“…Uzročnici IE dominantno su Gram pozitivni koki, od kojih većinu slučajeva čini zlatni Stafilokok (Staphylococcus aureus). Kod trudnica su opisani i slučajevi IE uzrokovani nespecifičnim uzročnicima kao što je Bacillus cereus ili gljive (najčešće iz roda Candida) [9,10] , no tu se radilo o trudnicama s podležećom patologijom kao što su dijabetes, imunokompromitirano stanje uslijed malignih ili imunoloških bolesti ili ovisnost o opijatima. Prikazujemo slučaj mlade, prethodno zdrave trudnice s IE mitralnog i aortnog zaliska uzrokovanog bakterijom S. aureus.…”

Infektivni endokarditis značajan je uzrok pobola i smrtnosti. Posebno je težak klinički entitet u trudnica s obzirom na određeni stupanj imunosupresije u trudnoći, kao i zbog značajnih promjena kardiovaskularne funkcije u trudnica. Većina infektivnih endokarditisa, pa i u trudnoći, uzrokovana je bakterijama, a dominantno je zahvaćen jedan srčani zalistak, najučestalije mitralnog ušća. U ovom radu je prikazan slučaj liječenja i ishoda endokarditisa mitralnog i aortnog zaliska uzrokovanog bakterijom Staphylococcus aureus u prethodno zdrave trudnice.
