    Abstract More than 400,000 cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including permanent pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, are implanted every year in the United States (US). Infection is a serious complication of CIED therapy and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. While CIED pocket infection can be diagnosed based on clinical exam findings, positive blood culture may be the only manifestation of CIED lead infection. Thus, management of bacteremia in patients living with CIEDs requires special consideration. This review summarizes contemporary data in the context of the recently updated 2023 Duke-International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases Criteria for Infective Endocarditis. We have synthesized these data into an algorithmic approach to streamline the diagnostic evaluation of CIED infection in patients presenting with bacteremia.

    Abstract Background: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel diagnostic tool increasingly used in the field of infectious diseases. Little guidance is available regarding its appropriate use in different patient populations and clinical syndromes. We aimed to review the clinical utility of mNGS in patients with a specific clinical syndrome and identify factors that may increase its utility.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of 72 non-immunocompromised adults hospitalized with the clinical syndrome of 'fever of undetermined origin' and underwent mNGS testing. Standardized criteria from a previously published study were used to determine the clinical impact of mNGS testing. We applied logistic regression to identify factors associated with a positive clinical impact.
    Results: Of the 72 patients identified, 62.5% were males with a median age of 56. All patients had a fever at the time of evaluation. At least one organism was identified in 65.3% of cases; most commonly were Epstein-Barr virus (13.9%), cytomegalovirus (12.5%), and
    Conclusion: In our review, mNGS had a positive clinical impact in a large proportion of adults with fever of undetermined origin, with minimal negative impact. However, mNGS results should be interpreted carefully given the high rate of detection of pathogens of unclear clinical significance. Randomized clinical trials are needed to assess the clinical utility of this novel diagnostic tool.

    Abstract Serial blood cultures (BCs) are integral in managing Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) to determine complication risks and treatment response. Several studies recognized the skip phenomenon (SP)- the occurrence of intermittent negative BCs and recommend obtaining additional BCs to document clearance. We examined patients with SP to determine its clinical significance. Significant differences between those who did and did not manifest the SP included higher rates of injection drug use and community-onset SAB in the SP cohort. Longer SAB duration, high-grade SAB, and complicated bacteremia were more common in the SP group. In unadjusted outcome analyses, association of SP with hospital length of stay was not significant, although a higher risk of in-hospital mortality among SP patients approached significance. Analysis of hospital survivors revealed no significant differences in 90-day relapse or 1-year mortality. Clinical implications of patients with SAB and SP indicate that serial BCs are warranted to document bacterial clearance.

    Abstract A 62-year-old man with essential hypertension and right L4-L5 hemilaminectomy was referred to rheumatology for evaluation of severe arthralgia and myalgia for 12 months. Review of symptoms was significant for night sweats and 20 pounds unintentional weight loss. Physical examination was significant for holosystolic murmur best heard at the cardiac apex of unclear chronicity. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated inflammatory markers, white blood cell count and B-type natriuretic peptide. Transoesophageal echocardiogram showed flail posterior mitral leaflet with severe mitral regurgitation and two vegetations (2.5×1 cm and 1.6×0.3 cm). Abdominal CT showed new focal splenic infarcts, and a brain MRI revealed subacute infarcts, consistent with the embolic phenomenon. Blood cultures grew

    Abstract Objective: Implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy remains the most common reconstructive modality worldwide. Infection is a frequent complication that negatively affects the reconstructive outcome and increases health-care costs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography in identifying fluid collections in patients with breast implant infection.
    Methods: After receiving institutional review board approval, a retrospective chart review was performed on patients who presented with breast implant infection after breast reconstruction, during the period 2009-2017. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound (US) in detecting fluid collections, only patients with US evaluation and surgery during the same admission were included.
    Results: In total, 64 patients with 64 infected implants met the inclusion criteria. Infected devices included 44 (69%) tissue expanders, and 20 (31%) implants, of which 40 (62%) were placed in the subpectoral and 24 (38%) prepectoral positions. Periprosthetic fluid was identified by US preoperatively in 45 (70%) of the patients, and a fluid collection was found in 61 (95%) of the patients during surgery. Sensitivity and specificity of US were 74% and 100%, respectively. Inaccurate US results were more likely in patients with silicone implants than patients with saline expander implants.
    Conclusion: Caution should be exercised in interpreting negative US findings in patients with silicone implants in the setting of infection. Other imaging modalities should be explored if US results are negative in cases with high clinical suspicion.
