Novel Diagnostic Methods for Infective Endocarditis.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2024 January 20
Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a dangerous disease and continues to have a high mortality rate. Unfortunately, despite continuous improvements in diagnostic methods, in many cases, blood cultures remain negative, and the pathogen causing endocarditis is unknown. This makes targeted therapy and the selection of appropriate antibiotics impossible. Therefore, we present what methods can be used to identify the pathogen in infective endocarditis. These are mainly molecular methods, including PCR and MGS, as well as imaging methods using radiotracers, which offer more possibilities for diagnosing IE. However, they are still not widely used in the diagnosis of IE. The article summarizes in which cases we should choose them and what we are most hopeful about in further research into the diagnosis of IE. In addition, registered clinical trials that are currently underway for the diagnosis of IE are also presented.
