Only 30% of the patients were over 50 years of age and the majority (69%) of infecting organisms were streptococci (mainly of the viridans group), which were similar to those reported from the West in the early antibiotic era. Pseudomonas organisms and enterococci accounted for 6% and 5%, respectively. Fungal infections were noted in 2 patients. There was a high incidence (38%) of predisposing rheumatic valvular disease; approximately half of these patients had prosthetic valve infections. Mitral valve prolapse was also an important predisposing disease (11%). One-third (34%) of the patients had febrile illness for longer than 8 weeks before the diagnosis was established. The hospital morality rate was 22%; cerebral embolism and ruptured mycotic aneurysm, congestive heart failure, and sudden death were the major causes of death. Echocardiography disclosed vegetations on the cardiac valves and preexisting lesions in 75% of the episodes. Early recognition and proper treatment should be the focus of efforts to reduce mortality from infective endocarditis. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=8688 ------>authors2=Ko YL ------>authors3=Chang SC ------>authors4=Lien WP ------>authors5=Tseng YZ ------>authors6=Lee YT,Hsieh YY,Hsieh WC,Wu MC ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Cheng JJ ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Retrospective analysis of 97 patients with infective endocarditis seen over the past 8 years. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=3 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=1989 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
