TRlCUSPl D VALVE SUBACUTE BACTERIAL ENDOC

چکیده
This report records for the first time the occurrence of isolated subacute bacterial endocarditis involving the tricuspid valve in a patient whose condition evolved into classic tetralogy of Fallot, and who required prosthetic replacement of the valve in addition to surgical therapy for the congenital lesions. Postoperative complete heart block was corrected with implantation of a P-wave synchronous pacemaker. The excellent clinical improvement observed in our patient, in addition to previous similar reports, further indicate that prosthetic valves can be seated in areas of iofection and heal properly.

Subacute bacterial endocarditis in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis.
A 57 year old white man with aortic insufficiency and previously undiagnosed ankylosing spondylitis, who developed subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE), is described. Emergency aortic valve replacement was necessary, and the aortic valve pathology showed diffusely fibrosed and thickened valve leaflets with bacterial vegetations. This is the first recorded case of SBE in ankylosing spondylitis.

متن کاملInfected left atrial mass within anatomically normal heart.
A case is presented with some features of subacute bacterial endocarditis and of left atrial myxoma. Operative removal of a 5x3 cm tumour lying above and attached to an anatomically normal mitral valve reversed a rapidly deteriorating clinical situation. Histologically the entire tumour appeared to be old thrombus, and Gram-positive cocci in its superficial strata corresponded with Streptococcu...
متن کاملProduction of endocarditis with Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mitis in dogs with aortic insufficiency.
Following the induction of aortic insufficiency, 15 dogs received intravenous injections of either Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus mitis. The clinical course and pathologic picture resembled those of acute and subacute bacterial endocarditis respectively. The valvular lesions were confined largely to contacting surfaces of aortic and mitral leaflets. The dogs given S. mitis often develop...

A case of infective endocarditis in a 59-year-old female caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is reported. The organism was recovered from 9 blood cultures. Despite treatment with penicillin and gentamicin the illness led to destruction of the aortic valve.
