Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infectious disease that affects the endothelium of the large intrathoracicvessels, heart valves, and intra-cardiac foreign body material.A 20-year-old woman was admitted to the cardiology department with complaints of fever and palpitations. Transthoracicechocardiography revealed a bicuspid aortic valve, aorticroot enlargement, and aortic coarctation. Transesophagealechocardiography revealed a bicuspid aortic valve, but therewas no vegetation. Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus was identified on a blood culture. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography(18F-FDG PET-CT) revealed increased intensive glucoseuptake on the dilated aortic segment adjacent to the distalcoarctation zone. Several reports have shown promising results for radio-labelled white blood cell single-photon emission computed tomography and 18F-FDG PET-CT imagingin IE. To our knowledge, this is the first described case inwhich PET-CT revealed endarteritis of the descending aortain a patient without prosthetic material.

Özet

Enfektif endokardit (EE) büyük intratorasik damarların endotelini, kalp kapaklarını ve intrakardiyak yabancı materyalleri etkileyen bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Yirmi yaşında kadın hasta ateş ve çarpıntı şikayetiyle acil servisimize başvurdu. Transtorasik ekokardiyografi (TTE) incelemesi sırasında biküspit aort kapak, aort kökünde genişleme ve aort koarktasyonu saptandı. Transözofajiyal ekokardiyografi (TEE) biküspit aort kapak tanısını doğruladı ve kapak üzerinde vejetasyon saptanmadı. Kan kültüründe metisiline duyarlı Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) saptandı. 18F-fluorodeoksiglukoz, pozitron emisyon tomografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi (18 FDG PET-BT) distal aort koarktasyon bölgesinde yoğun glukoz tutulumu olduğunu gösterdi. Radiyoaktif işaretli lökosit ile yapılan SPECT/BT’nin ve 18 FDG işaretli glukozla yapılan PET-BT’nin EE tanısında duyarlılığı arttırdığına dair çeşitli yayınlar mevcuttur. Bizim olgumuz, protez materyali olmayan bir hastada inen aortda endarterit tanısının PET-BT ile koyulduğu ilk olgudur.
