INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS IN CHILDREN
A total of 14 cases of infective endocarditis (IE) in children aged 6 months to 10 years were seen from December 1987 to December 1992 at the pediatric unit of Ayatollah Taleghani Medical Center. The majority of patients (12 of 14) were between 5 and 10 years of age. Acyanotic congenital heart disease was known to preexist in 78.6% and rheumatic valvular heart disease in 21.4% of cases. Or...
متن کاملINFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS IN CHILDREN OF SOUTHERN IRAN
Infective endocarditis is an uncommon heart disease with a variable incidence, mostly related to the ever-increasing development of cardiac surgery and the longer survival of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Thirty-seven episodes of infective endocarditis (IE) were evaluated in 36 children (under 15 years of age) admitted to hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical ...
متن کاملUptake of hematoporphyrin derivative by valvular vegetations in experimental infective endocarditis.
Drugs that localize in valvular vegetations may be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis. We therefore tested the hypothesis that parenterally injected hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD), which is concentrated in tumors and atherosclerotic plaques, localizes in the vegetations of experimental infective endocarditis. In 14 rabbits, various bacteria were given intra-arteri...
متن کاملInfective Endocarditis-induced Crescentic Glomerulonephritis Dramatically Improved after Removal of Vegetations and Valve Replacement
Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with poor prognosis and higher mortality. IE‑induced glomerulonephritis, especially crescentic glomerulonephritis (IE‑CGN) with renal dysfunction, is an independent risk factor for mortality. For the treatment of IE‑CGN, many therapeutic strategies including antibiotics alone, antibiotics combined with corticosteroid, immunosuppressive agents, plasmaphe...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of vegetations detected by two-dimensional echocardiography in infective endocarditis.
Although 2DE is considered the most sensitive method for detecting vegetations in infective endocarditis, the independent clinical significance of these vegetations continues to be debated. To further examine this, we identified 74 patients who were diagnosed as having infective endocarditis over a 54-month period. The 50 patients who underwent 2DE examination form the basis of this report. Def...
