Premacular hemorrhage as a sign of Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis.
American journal of ophthalmology, 1995Co-Authors: Judy E. Kim, Dennis P. HanAbstract:Purpose/Methods We examined a patient with mitral valve insufficiency, a sudden decrease in vision in the right eye, and premacular hemorrhage, which was a sign of Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis. Results/Conclusion The patient was hospitalized and treated with intravenous antibiotics. Blood cultures grew Streptococcus viridans . Ocular symptoms and signs improved over two months. Premacular hemorrhage may be a sign of Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis and may obscure other classic signs. Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis should be included in the differential diagnosis of premacular hemorrhage.

Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis Prophylaxis
Anesthesiology, 2017Co-Authors: Marilyn Diane MichelowAbstract:Guidelines regarding antibiotic prophylaxis against Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis in patients with heart disease during minor procedures of the GI, GU, and respiratory tract have changed significantly in recent years. Current guidelines from the ACC/AHA recommend against antibiotic prophylaxis in all circumstances except in the case of active infection and during invasive dental procedures in a specific subset of at-risk patients.

Classic Peripheral Signs of Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis.
The Korean Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2016Co-Authors: Yooyoung Chong, Youn Ju Rhee, Shin Kwang Kang, Jae Hyeon Yu, Myung Hoon NaAbstract:A 50-year-old female patient with visual disturbances was referred for further evaluation of a heart murmur. Fundoscopy revealed a Roth spot in both eyes. A physical examination showed peripheral signs of infective Endocarditis, including Osler nodes, Janeway lesions, and splinter hemorrhages. Our preoperative diagnosis was Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis with severe aortic regurgitation. The patient underwent aortic valve replacement and was treated with intravenous antibiotics for 6 weeks postoperatively. The patient made a remarkable recovery and was discharged without complications. We report this case of Subacute Endocarditis with all 4 classic peripheral signs in a patient who presented with visual disturbance.
