Evidence at the Bedside · Apr 29, 2026 · 49m

Master the approach to primary and secondary bacteremia. In this episode, we break down the clinical markers that distinguish true infection from pseudobacteremia, the mandatory workup for S. aureus in the bloodstream, and the 2026 standards for diagnosing Infective Endocarditis (IE). We explore the utility of TTE vs. TEE and the evidence-based criteria for early surgical intervention. Essential listening for hospitalists, infectious disease specialists, and cardiology residents.
