This guideline is a full update to the 2008 short guideline (CG64) on the use of prophylaxis against infective endocarditis (IE). This 2015 update was triggered by a recent study suggesting that the incidence of IE may have been affected by the 2008 guidance. As a precaution, NICE has reviewed the evidence relating to the effectiveness of prophylaxis against IE and found no need to change any of the existing guidance. In addition, NICE concludes that the longstanding increase in the incidence of IE in the UK and other countries globally is not well understood and could be due to a number of factors.

Wound Infection and Sepsis Caused by
Arcanobacterium haemolyticum was first described in 1946 by MacClean et al. [cited in reference 1], who isolated it from U.S. servicemen and natives of the South Pacific. It is an unusual pathogen that occasionally causes wound infections, pharyngitis, sinusitis, and septicemia [2-7]. In addition, it has been documented as a rare cause of endocarditis and brain abscess [8,9], as well as the cause of a variety of zoonotic diseases [10]. Immunocompromised individuals or those with other underlying diseases [4] are most susceptible to developing A. (Source: Clinical Microbiology Newsletter)

Leptospiral Infective Endocarditis with Concurrent Dengue Infection
Leptospirosis is an important worldwide zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic leptospires. Human infection results when leptospires penetrate through abrasions in mucous membranes and skin, after which they enter the bloodstream and rapidly disseminate to various tissues. Leptospirosis presents with a wide range of clinical manifestations, ranging from a mild flu-like illness to very severe disease with hemorrhagic manifestations and multiorgan failure [1]. Unusual clinical manifestations may result from pulmonary, cardiovascular, neural, gastrointestinal, ocular, and other organ system involvement. (Source: Clinical Microbiology Newsletter)
