| mammalian bite wounds. | clinical data were collected prospectively from a series of 160 patients presenting with mammalian bite wounds. anaerobic and aerobic cultures were prepared from sterile swabs placed in 65 bite wounds prior to cleansing. infection was noted in 11 of 22 cat bites, six of 37 human bites, three of 80 dog bites, and in none of the 21 bites caused by other mammals. pasteurella multocida was recovered from six infected cat and dog bites, all of which developed infection within 24 hours of injury. stap ... | 1980 | 7356213 |
| the demonstration of vegetations by echocardiography in bacterial endocarditis. an indication for early surgical intervention. | the visualization of vegetations by m-mode echocardiography in patients with infective endocarditis has been suggested to imply a poor prognosis regarding the development of major systemic emboli, congestive heart failure and the need for early surgical intervention. the question of using the finding of vegetations by echocardiography as an indication for surgery is controversial. to answer this question, 30 patients with the clinical diagnosis of endocarditis were studied by echocardiography. i ... | 1980 | 7386509 |

| dog bite wounds and infection: a prospective clinical study. | we prospectively studied 26 patients with 27 dog bite wounds who sought medical attention in the emergency department. two distinct populations were found (fishers exact test, p less than or equal to 0.001): 1) those who presented 8 hr to 12 hr post-injury were concerned about rabies or tetanus or surgical wound repair; and 2) those who presented more than 12 hr post-injury were concerned with infection. there was no difference (p > 0.05) in the bacteriology of the two groups. of all wounds, 74% ... | 1980 | 7425403 |
| virulent streptococcus viridans bacterial endocarditis. | a particularly virulent form of bacterial endocarditis due to streptococcus viridans is described in selected patients. the diagnosis of purulent pericarditis and myocardial abscess is delineated. in addition, emphasis is placed on early surgical intervention in the appropriate management of these potentially lethal complications. | 1981 | 7468419 |

| e test: a novel technique for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. | we describe the applicability of the e test (ab biodisk solna, sweden), a new method for determining minimum inhibitory concentrations of antimicrobial agents against bacteria. this report is based on the literature review and on our own experience using the e test for susceptibility testing of the xanthomonas maltophilia, streptococcus pneumoniae and streptococcus viridans group against eight different drugs. | 1994 | 7481427 |
| early and late prognosis following valve replacement for bacterial endocarditis of the native valve. | between 1983 and 1922 70 patients of the author's institution underwent valve replacement for bacterial endocarditis of native valves. in 22 cases the source of infection could be identified. among them the most frequent source of infection was dental manipulation (7 patients). the predominating causative microorganism was streptococcus viridans followed by staphylococcus aureus. preoperative complications, the intraoperative finding of extensive destructions, and the histological finding of acu ... | 1995 | 7545333 |
| a randomized, controlled trial of the efficacy of a heparin and vancomycin solution in preventing central venous catheter infections in children. | to determine whether adding vancomycin to central venous catheter (cvc) flush solution would significantly reduce the incidence of bacteremia attributable to luminal colonization with vancomycin-susceptible organisms. | 1995 | 7608801 |
| premacular hemorrhage as a sign of subacute bacterial endocarditis. | purpose/methods: we examined a patient with mitral valve insufficiency, a sudden decrease in vision in the right eye, and premacular hemorrhage, which was a sign of subacute bacterial endocarditis. results/conclusion: the patient was hospitalized and treated with intravenous antibiotics. blood cultures grew streptococcus viridans. ocular symptoms and signs improved over two months. premacular hemorrhage may be a sign of subacute bacterial endocarditis and may obscure other classic signs. subacut ... | 1995 | 7639311 |
| infective endocarditis in children: profile in a developing country. | with the object of studying the profile of infective endocarditis in indian children younger than 16 years of age, a retrospective study of 37 patients with infective endocarditis admitted to this hospital between january 1984 and december 1990 was carried out. there were 26 boys and 11 girls (aged 2-16 years (mean (sd) 10.3 (3.8)). eighteen (48.6%) patients had underlying congenital heart disease, 13 (35.1%) had associated rheumatic heart disease whilst the remaining six had no pre-existing hea ... | 1993 | 7687116 |
| [the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, hypertrophic myocardiopathy and multivalvular infectious endocarditis. apropos a clinical case]. | we present a clinical case of a 33 years old young male, gypsy, intravenous drug abuser with heroine and cocaine and aids diagnosis. the clinical anamnesis was mainly fever and systolic heart murmur in a clinical scenario of aids. the two-dimensional echocardiographic study was clearly diagnostic of an hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy of the left ventricle. this study showed also the presence of multiple vegetations of the mitral, aortic and pulmonic valves in a clinical setting of an acu ... | 1995 | 7695955 |
| bivalvular endocarditis complicating pregnancy. a case report and literature review. | a twenty-nine-year old woman with a history of rheumatic fever and both mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse (without cardiac effects on the echocardiogram) presented with streptococcus viridans infective endocarditis of both the tricuspid and mitral valves at seventeen weeks' gestation. twelve weeks before admission she underwent a dental curettage and received presumably adequate antibiotic prophylaxis. the present case was successfully managed by means of aggressive antibiotic therapy appropri ... | 1995 | 7741329 |
| splenic abscess: a diagnostic pitfall in the ed. | splenic abscess, with its rare incidence and various misleading clinical manifestations, usually is a diagnostic pitfall in the modern emergency department. the most frequently seen symptoms and signs are fever, abdominal pain and tenderness over left upper quadrant, splenomegaly, leucocytosis, and left lower chest abnormalities. four cases were collected during the past five years. on admission, one patient manifested symptoms mimicking a perforated peptic ulcer and the other three patients pre ... | 1995 | 7755833 |

| [vomiting, upper abdominal pain and sepsis]. | a 78-year-old man was admitted to a surgical emergency room because of an acute abdomen. he had vomited violently four times shortly after a meal. this episode was followed by severe upper abdominal and thoracic pain, radiating to the back. clinical evaluation revealed epigastric peritoneal signs and a soft lower abdomen. emergency laparotomy disclosed peritoneal adhesions, a distended stomach and numerous diverticula of the small intestine. neither a perforation nor inflammatory signs were note ... | 1994 | 7801006 |
| a clinical consideration of systemic embolism complicated to infective endocarditis in korea. | infective endocarditis is still one of the important fatal diseases in korea, especially when systemic embolisms are supervene. so, identification of patients who are in the high risk of embolism and who can be helped by early surgical intervention is very important. considering these, we tried to elaborate the risk factors for the systemic embolism in patients with an infective endocarditis and the influence of systemic embolism on the mortality and morbidity in patients with an infective endoc ... | 1994 | 7865493 |
