Purpose To define the incidence and microbiological aetiology of infective endocarditis (IE) in patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in tropical Australia. Methods A retrospective study that examined all episodes of IE between January 1998 and June 2021 among individuals on the RHD register in Far North Queensland, Australia. Results There were 1135 individuals with a diagnosis of RHD on the register during the study period, representing 10962 patient-years at risk. Overall, there were 18 episodes of definite IE occurring in 16 individuals, although only 7 episodes occurred in native valves (11 occurred in prosthetic valves) equating to 0.7 episodes of native valve IE/1000 patient-years. No patient with mild RHD - and only one child with RHD - developed IE during the study period. Despite the study’s tropical location, the causative organism was usually typical skin or oral flora. Among individuals with an indication for benzathine penicillin G (BPG) prophylaxis, only 1/6 episodes of IE due to a penicillin-susceptible organism received BPG in the month before presentation. Conclusion Although RHD predisposes individuals to IE, the absolute risk of IE in native valve disease in tropical Australia is low and might be reduced further by improved adherence to secondary BPG prophylaxis.
