Abstract

Because of the highly variable clinical manifestations of infective endocarditis (IE), different sets of diagnostic criteria have been used to standardize case definitions of IE. We evaluated the validity of the recently proposed Duke criteria, as compared with the older von Reyn criteria, in patients with no history of injecting drug abuse. A total of 243 consecutive episodes of suspected IE in 222 patients treated during the years 1980 through 1995 in a Finnish teaching hospital were retrospectively evaluated for the likelihood of IE by means of these 2 classification schemes. Of all disease episodes, 114 were designated as definite IE by the Duke criteria, as compared with 64 episodes so classified by the von Reyn criteria (P < .001; Fisher exact test). Moreover, as many as 115 disease episodes were rejected by the von Reyn criteria, whereas only 37 episodes were rejected by the Duke criteria (P < .001). Of the cases rejected by the von Reyn criteria, the Duke clinical criteria designated 6 (5%) as definite IE and 72 (63%) as possible IE. Among histopathologically verified episodes, 46 were designated as definite IE by the Duke clinical criteria, as compared with a diagnosis of probable IE by the von Reyn criteria in 33 epis...Continue Reading
