AB  - KEY  POINTSIntravascular  infections  are  characterized  by  continuous  bacteremia,  although  positive  blood  cultures  are  not  invariable.Infective  endocarditis  (IE)  has  high  morbidity  and  mortality,  even  with  optimal  therapy.The  diagnosis  of  IE  is  clinical,  and  the  modified  Duke  criteria  have  been  validated  and  updated.Transesophageal  echocardiogram  (TEE)  is  the  imaging  modality  of  choice,  but  a  number  of  imaging  techniques  may  be  helpful.Therapy  of  IE  requires  parenteral  administration  of  bactericidal  antibiotics  for  an  extended  duration,  although  surgical  intervention  may  be  also  necessary  to  eradicate  the  infection  or  manage  complications.Suppurative  or  septic  thrombophlebitis  can  be  a  naturally  occurring  infection  or  because  of  local  infections,  penetrating  trauma,  injection  drug  use,  or  intravenous  devices.  In  addition  to  antibiotics,  anticoagulation  may  be  beneficial.Arterial  infections  or  infectious  arteritis  occur  from  septic  emboli,  seeding  of  atherosclerotic  plaques  or  aneurysms,  trauma,  injection  drug  use,  and  arterial  procedures.  Management  usually  requires  surgery,  especially  in  cases  with  prosthetic  vascular  grafts.
