Title
Risk of Infective Endocarditis in <i>Streptococcus mitis</i> Bloodstream Infections Among Patients with Neutropenia from Hematologic Malignancies
Abstract
Abstract
Streptococcus mitis commonly causes bloodstream infections (BSIs) in neutropenic patients but infrequently results in infective endocarditis (IE) in this population. Among 210 patients with neutropenia and S. mitis BSI, 55% underwent cardiac imaging. None were diagnosed with S. mitis IE; 3 had recurrent S. mitis BSI within 12 weeks.
