    Author: Chu VH, Sexton DJ, Cabell CH, Reller LB, Pappas PA, Singh RK, Fowler VG, Corey GR, Aksoy O, Woods CW.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2005 Aug 01; 41(3):406-9. PubMed ID: 16007540.
    Abstract:
    Repeat infective endocarditis due to the same species can represent relapse of the initial infection or a new infection. We used time-based clinical criteria and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis-based molecular criteria to classify 13 cases of repeat infective endocarditis as either relapse or reinfection. The agreement between clinical and molecular criteria was imperfect (agreement in 10 [77%] of 13 cases).
