Bartonella Quintana

Abstract Background Homelessness has been a growing issue in the United States and worldwide. Bartonella quintana, the causative agent of “Trench fever”, is a well known illness among homeless populations in urban centers. While many cases of B. quintana are self limited, the disease can have advanced presentations including endocarditis. We present a short case series of three cases of B. quintana infective endocarditis (IE) in homeless individuals in Los Angeles and review the literature of cases of B. quintana IE in the homeless population. Methods Here we report three cases of B. quintana IE encountered in homeless individuals at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) hospital system. A literature review was also conducted. PubMed was searched for published cases of human IE secondary to B. quintana in homeless individuals. Results All three patients were male with ages ranging from 39 to 57 years old with a history of homelessness and alcohol use. Presentations were subacute to chronic in nature consisting of constitutional symptoms as well as a range of symptoms corresponding with heart and renal failure. Each patient was found to have varying degrees of aortic insufficiency with either identified aortic valve vegetation or valvular thickening. Diagnosis was made with a combination of Bartonella serologies and whole genome sequencing PCR. All three patient’s courses were complicated by renal failure at varying points limiting the use of gentamicin for the full treatment course. Two patients ultimately underwent aortic valve replacement due to severe aortic insufficiency and completed therapy with doxycycline and rifampin. A single patient was discharged with plan to complete doxycycline and rifampin therapy however was lost to follow up. A literature review of 10 manuscripts describing 13 cases of B. quintana IE were identified. All the patients were male and the median age was 45. Six of the cases were in Europe and eight were in North America. All cases had left sided valve involvement (10 aortic, 6 mitral, 3 both valves). No cases of right sided IE were identified. Conclusion B. quintana IE should be considered in homeless patients with a clinical presentation concerning for IE. A combination of serology and PCR testing can be useful in diagnosis of this uncommon cause of infective endocarditis. Disclosures Jeffrey Klausner, MD, MPH, Nothing to disclose

Echocardiographic Finding

Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is an anatomic valvular variant, with a prevalence of 0.008% to 0.033% in the general population, and 1.46% in patients that undergo aortic valve replacement. The QAV can be an isolated valvular abnormality or associated  with other congenital heart defects. In this article, we present three of the few reported cases of QAV in the Hispanic population,  all of which  were asymptomatic and without evidence of hemodynamic alterations or other associated heart defects. Additionally a literature review is provided.

Aortocardiac fistulae (ACF) are exceptionally due to infective endocarditis; they are usually congenital, posttraumatic, or complicate aortic dissection. In infective endocarditis setting, their presence should prompt urgent surgery as patients can deteriorate rapidly. We report the case of a 78-year-old female patient with the first ever reported quadricuspid aortic valve infective endocarditis complicated by multiple aortocardiac fistulae. Additionally, we provide a brief review of ACF, in infective endocarditis and quadricuspid aortic valve.

Introduction: Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare anatomical abnormality, its incidence ranging from 0.008% to 0.033%. Case Report: Wedescribe the case of a female patient with a quadricuspid aortic valve. The direct visualization showed a type E quadricuspid aortic valve. Aftercomplete excision of the valve, it was replaced by a 23mm biological prosthesis. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Discussion: Since thefirst case, described in 1862, fewer than 200 cases have been diagnosed so far in world literature. Given its frequent association with othercardiac malformations, it is important that physicians seek their preoperative diagnosis.

Abstract There are three cusps in a normally developed aortic valve. Abnormal excavation or fusion, during the embryological development of the aortic valve, results in a varying number of cusps. Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common, but more rarely, unicuspid and quadricuspid aortic valves can be seen. Here, a case of a 16-year-old male with a unicommissural unicuspid aortic valve and a case of a 13-year-old female with a quadricuspid aortic valve were reported.
