Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: using echocardiography to guide length of therapy.

Alice I Kim1, Karim A Adal, Steven K Schmitt.   

Abstract

Echocardiography can help distinguish simple and uncomplicated bacteremias from true cases of infective endocarditis and guide the type and duration of antibiotic therapy in a more precise and cost-effective manner. Empiric long-term antibiotic therapy is no longer uniformly recommended for all cases of S aureus bacteremia, although experts disagree about the optimal length of therapy.
