    Abstract Purpose of review: Bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is common and can prompt challenges in defining optimal management. We provide a contemporary narrative review of this topic and propose a pathogen-dependent clinical approach to patient management.
    Recent findings: BSI due to staphylococci, viridans group streptococci, and enterococci is associated with an increased risk of underlying CIED infection, while the risk of CIED infection due to other organisms is poorly defined. There is growing evidence that positron emission tomography-computed tomography may be helpful in some patients with BSI and underlying CIED. Twenty studies were included to examine the impact of microbiologic findings on the risk of CIED infection among patients with BSI. Diagnosis of CIED infection in patients with BSI without pocket findings is often difficult, necessitating the use of novel diagnostic tools to help guide the clinician in subsequent patient management.

    Abstract Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have been shown to reduce adverse cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, all-cause mortality, and heart failure hospitalization in patients with heart failure, as well as adverse renal outcomes. However, concerns regarding the heightened risk of genitourinary (GU) infections, particularly urinary tract infections, remain a significant barrier to their wider adoption. Addressing these misconceptions using existing evidence is needed to ensure proper risk-benefit assessment and optimal utilization of this efficacious therapy. This review aims to provide a balanced perspective on the evidence-based cardiovascular and renal benefits of SGLT2is and the associated risk of GU infections. We also summarize and propose clinical practice considerations for SGLT2i-associated GU infections focusing on patients with cardiovascular disease.

    Abstract Cardiac implantable electronic device-related infective endocarditis (CIED-IE) encompasses a range of clinical syndromes, including valvular, device lead, and bloodstream infections. However, accurately diagnosing CIED-IE remains challenging owing in part to diverse clinical presentations, lack of standardized definition, and variations in guideline recommendations. Furthermore, current diagnostic modalities, such as transesophageal echocardiography and [

    Abstract Background: Given the challenges of conventional therapies in managing right-sided infective endocarditis (RSIE), percutaneous mechanical aspiration (PMA) of vegetations has emerged as a novel treatment option. Data on trends, characteristics, and outcomes of PMA, however, have largely been limited to case reports and case series.
    Aims: The aim of the current investigation was to provide a descriptive analysis of PMA in the United States and to profile the frequency of PMA with a temporal analysis and the patient cohort.
    Methods: The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes were used to identify patients with RSIE in the national (nationwide) inpatient sample (NIS) database between 2016 and 2020. The clinical characteristics and temporal trends of RSIE hospitalizations in patients who underwent PMA was profiled.
    Results: An estimated 117,955 RSIE-related hospital admissions in the United States over the 5-year study period were estimated and 1675 of them included PMA. Remarkably, the rate of PMA for RSIE increased 4.7-fold from 2016 (0.56%) to 2020 (2.62%). Patients identified with RSIE who had undergone PMA were young (medial age 36.5 years) and had few comorbid conditions (median Charlson Comorbidity Index, 0.6). Of note, 36.1% of patients had a history of hepatitis C infection, while only 9.9% of patients had a cardiovascular implantable electronic device. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant (61.8%) pathogen. Concomitant transvenous lead extraction and cardiac valve surgery during the PMA hospitalization were performed in 18.2% and 8.4% of admissions, respectively. The median hospital stay was 19.0 days, with 6.0% in-hospital mortality.
    Conclusions: The marked increase in the number of PMA procedures in the United States suggests that this novel treatment option has been embraced as a useful tool in select cases of RSIE. More work is needed to better define indications for the procedure and its efficacy and safety.

    Abstract Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia is associated with poor outcomes. Ceftriaxone offers logistical advantages over other standard therapies, though in vitro studies have questioned its efficacy and clinical studies of ceftriaxone in MSSA bacteremia are conflicting.We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of adult patients who received ceftriaxone, cefazolin, or antistaphylococcal penicillins as definitive therapy for MSSA bacteremia from 2018 to 2019. Definitive therapy was defined as the antibiotic used in the outpatient setting. Patients were excluded if they received less than 7 days of outpatient therapy. Follow-up started on the date of definitive therapy completion. The primary outcome was 90-day treatment failure, defined as a composite of mortality and microbiologic recurrence. This was analyzed with multivariable Cox regression. A total of 223 patients were included, 37 (16.6%) of whom received ceftriaxone. The most common ceftriaxone dose was 2 g daily (83.8%). The most common primary site of infection was skin/soft tissue (37.2%), unknown (21.1%), and catheter-related (15.2%). Twenty-six (11.7%) developed infective endocarditis. Median total duration of treatment was 31.0 days, and median outpatient duration was 24.0 days. Twenty-six (11.7%) developed 90-day treatment failure. After adjusting for Charlson comorbidity index, duration of therapy, and use of transesophageal echocardiography, definitive treatment with ceftriaxone was associated with treatment failure (hazard ratio 2.66, 95% confidence interval 1.15-6.12; p=0.022). Among patients with MSSA bacteremia, definitive treatment with ceftriaxone was associated with a higher risk of treatment failure within 90 days as compared to cefazolin or antistaphylococcal penicillins.

    Abstract Pancreatic fungal infection (PFI) in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of PFI has increased during the past decade. Our study aimed to provide contemporary observations on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of PFI in comparison to pancreatic bacterial infection and necrotizing pancreatitis without infection. We conducted a retrospective study of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis (acute necrotic collection or walled-off necrosis), who underwent pancreatic intervention (necrosectomy and/or drainage) and had tissue/fluid culture between 2005 and 2021. We excluded patients with pancreatic procedures prior to hospitalization. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression models were fitted for in-hospital and 1-year survival outcomes. A total of 225 patients with necrotizing pancreatitis were included. Pancreatic fluid and/or tissue was obtained from endoscopic necrosectomy and/or drainage (76.0%), CT-guided percutaneous aspiration (20.9%), or surgical necrosectomy (3.1%). Nearly half of the patients had PFI with or without concomitant bacterial infection (48.0%), while the remaining patients had either bacterial infection alone (31.1%) or no infection (20.9%). In multivariable analysis to assess the risk of PFI or bacterial infection alone, only previous pancreatitis was associated with an increased odds of PFI vs. no infection (OR 4.07, 95% CI 1.13-14.69, p = .032). Multivariable regression analyses revealed no significant differences in in-hospital outcomes or one-year survival between the 3 groups. Pancreatic fungal infection occurred in nearly half of necrotizing pancreatitis. Contrary to many of the previous reports, there was no significant difference in important clinical outcomes between the PFI group and each of the other two groups.

    Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) phaeohyphomycosis is a rare and often fatal fungal infection. Our study reported a case series of eight CNS phaeohyphomycosis cases at our institution over the past 20 years. We did not observe the common pattern of risk factors, abscess location, or number of abscesses among them. Most patients were immunocompetent without classic risk factors for fungal infection. Early diagnosis and aggressive management with surgical intervention and prolonged antifungal therapy can lead to a favorable outcome. The study highlights the need for further research to better understand the pathogenesis and optimal management of this challenging rare infection.

    Abstract Background: Current guidelines recommend immunomodulators, tocilizumab or baricitinib, for the management of severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in patients with increasing oxygen requirements. Given their immunosuppressive effects, there is a concern for higher rates of infection among transplant recipients.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study of transplant patients with severe COVID-19 between April 2020 and January 2022 was performed at the Mayo Clinic. The primary outcome was incidence of secondary infections after COVID-19 diagnosis. Secondary outcomes were 90-day mortality, ventilatory days, and thromboembolic events.
    Results: A total of 191 hospitalized transplant patients were studied, including 77 (40.3%) patients who received an immunomodulator. Overall, 89% were solid organ transplant recipients, with kidney as the most common transplanted organ (50.3%). The majority (89.0%) required oxygen supplementation on admission, and 39.8% of these patients required mechanical ventilation during the hospital course. There was no significant difference in the incidence of secondary infections between those who received or did not receive an immunomodulator (p = .984). Likewise, there was no difference in 90-day mortality between patients who received or did not receive an immunomodulator (p = .134). However, higher mortality was observed among patients that developed a secondary infection (p < .001).
    Conclusion: The use of immunomodulators in transplant patients with severe COVID-19 was not significantly associated with an increased risk of secondary infections. Secondary infections were associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality. Future studies of larger cohorts are needed to explore the effect of immunomodulators on survival among transplant patients with COVID-19.
