الوصف: Infective endocarditis (IE) is one of the most common cardiac complications in HIV patients who are intravenous drug addicts. The presence of IE and secondary diseases in immunocompromised individuals usually requires specific diagnostic and therapeutic approach.Aim: Optimizing the diagnosis of IE in patients with advanced HIV/AIDS.Materials and methods We reviewed 429 case records of HIV/AIDS ICU patients using the modified duke criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis. Statistical significance (p 38°C was a key symptom found in all patients. Blood cultures were positive in 60% cases. 80% had a high C reactive protein (CRP), and 44% had CRP levels above 100 mg/l. Procalcitonin (PCT) levels were increased in 52%. Echocardiogram revealed IE in 92%. Pneumonia was diagnosed in 92%. Fatal outcome occurred in 76%. Anemia was a predictor of severe outcome (p38°C, pneumonia, anemia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia and echocardiographic findings. The levels of the hemoglobin and WBCs could evaluate prognosis of the disease outcome.
