      INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE AS A NEUROLOGICAL COMPLICATION OF SEPTIC EMBOLISM IN INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS: A CASE REPORTABSTRACTInfective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease. The incidence of IE in developing countries is reported at 1.7-6.2 per 100,000 individuals per year. IE is also known as a potential condition for embolization, especially septic embolism to the brain. Septic embolism results in various neurological complications and manifestations due to vascular occlusion, aneurysm formation and rupture of the aneurysm. We report a case of 34-year-old male with definitive IE based on Duke criteria who experienced neurological complications of intracerebral bleeding. Patient was given pharmacological treatment according to the guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA)with improvement in clinical symptoms.Keywords: Infective endocarditis, intracerebral hemorrhage, septic embolismABSTRAKEndokarditis infektif (EI) merupakan penyakit yang mengancam nyawa, walaupun angka kejadiannya kecil, yaitu 1,7-6,2 per 100.000 individu per tahun di negara berkembang. EI juga sangat potensial menyebabkan embolisasi, khususnya emboli septik ke otak. Emboli ini mengakibatkan manifestasi gangguan neurologis yang disebabkan karena oklusi pembuluh pembentukan dan ruptur aneurisma. Dilaporkan kasus seorang laki-laki 34 tahun dengan EI definitif berdasarkan kriteria Duke yang mengalami komplikasi neurologis perdarahan intraserebral. Pasien ditatalaksana sesuai panduan American Heart Association (AHA) dengan perbaikan gejala klinis.Kata kunci: Endokarditis infektif, emboli septik, perdarahan intrakranial

ABSTRACT Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge and practice of dentists from Jordan, regarding prevention of infective endocarditis (IE) in dental practice. Materials and Methods: A sample of Jordanian dentists was interviewed regarding their IE knowledge and practice using a validated and pretested survey instrument. Results: Most of the dentists have encountered a patient with IE who needed prophylactic antibiotic (PA) and have prescribed antibiotics to prevent IE. Jordanian dentists’ approach to patients in need for PA varied between the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommendations and the American Heart Association to a lesser degree, but still a relatively high percent (39%) did not know any guidelines to follow although 74% have encountered patients who needed endocarditis prophylaxis. Patients with prosthetic heart valve were ranked on top of medical conditions that required PA (87.4%), and most dentists (94.5%) thought that dental extractions need PA followed by periodontal surgery (88.2%). Conclusion: There is a lack of consistency in the knowledge and practice of Jordanian dentists with regard to IE. There is a need to take actions to improve dentist's knowledge regarding this topic.
