Abstract
Endothelial damage to heart valves, similar to that seen with rheumatic heart disease,
occurs in 50% of all patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Bacterial endocarditis
is a consequence in 1% to 4% of these patients. This rate is greater than the incidence
of endocarditis after rheumatic heart disease and compares favorably with the incidence
of endocarditis in patients with prosthetic heart valves. At present, it is not possible
to accurately delineate the subpopulation of patients with SLE that is at risk for
this disease; hence, it is recommended that antibiotic prophylaxis (standard regimen
suggested by the American Heart Association) be considered for all patients with systemic
lupus erythematosus undergoing dental procedures associated with transient bacteremias.
