Uptake 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...

The development of valvular stenosis during active infective endocarditis, on the other hand, has not been described previously. In two patients with such endocarditis whom we have studied, however, valvular stenosis developed. One, a 21-year-old woman, who had had acute rheum...

Infective endocarditis is still a serious, potentially fatal disease despite newer antimicrobial agents. Drug treatment of infective endocarditis is frequently instituted on a presumptive diagnosis based on strong clinical suspicion and usually prior to bacteriological confirmation. The ability to visualise valvular vegetations by echocardiography serves as a useful aid in the diagnosis and man...

The older classifications of acute, subacute, and chronic have become less meaningful; immunologic phenomena, such as Osler’s nodes and glomerulonephritis, are rarely seen; and nosocomial infections from indwelling catheters and devices are increasing. Early diagnosis and treatment play ...
