Actinobacillus prosthetic valve endocarditis

American Heart Journal, 1989
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a slow-growing, fastidious, capnophilic gram-negative rod that is a rare but recognized cause of both native and prosthetic valve endocarditis.

Late prosthetic valve endocarditis

European Heart Journal, 1984
A report is given of 13 patients with late prosthetic valve endocarditis (1975-1982). Follow-up ranged from 1 to 8 years (mean 33 months). Causative organisms were streptococci in 8 cases, staphylococci in 2, and Cardiobacterium hominis in 1. Cultures were negative in 2. Surgical treatment in the acute phase was performed in 3 patients.

Aspergillus prosthetic valve endocarditis

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1993
A 66-year-old man developed Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis, complicated by an aortic root abscess 9 months after his aortic valve replacement with a Carpentier Edwards xenograft. The aortic root was replaced with an antibiotic-treated fresh homograft and anti-fungal chemotherapy commenced 24 hours later.

Late prosthetic valve endocarditis

European Heart Journal, 1995
Prosthetic valve endocarditis remains an extremely serious complication, with a low but increasing incidence. 'Late' endocarditis, occurring more than 60 days after surgery, is relatively infrequently associated with staphylococci, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi so characteristic of the endocarditis that occurs earlier. A probable source of infection

Salmonella prosthetic valve endocarditis

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2000
We report the case of a 69-year-old man with an aortic valve bioprosthesis in whom a diagnosis of Salmonella typhimurium prosthetic valve endocarditis was made. During the prolonged hospital admission early aggressive antibiotic therapy and early valve replacement surgery were the deciding factors enabling him to survive this otherwise lethal condition.

Salmonella prosthetic valve endocarditis

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1992
Four cases of Salmonella prosthetic valve endocarditis have been reported previously in the English medical literature (Fraser et al. 1967; Yamamoto et al., 1974; Shanson et al., 1977; Bassa et al., 1989). This report describes a fifth case in a 62-year-old woman who developed tricuspid valve endocarditis after an episode of Salmonella gastroenteritis,

Prosthetic valve infective endocarditis

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1979
T HE clinical pattern of infective endocarditis is undergoing constant changes.’ Many patients who would have died as a result of cardiac valvular infection have now survived because of antibiotic therapy. Furthermore, hemodynamic impairment due to valvular dysfunction secondary to infective endocarditis is now amendable to surgical therapy. Prosthetic

Revista espanola de cardiologia, 1998
Infective endocarditis occurs in 4% of prosthetic valve carriers. The infection is related to both the injured endocardium and circulating microorganisms. Early prosthetic endocarditis, occurring in the first 12 months after valvular surgery is mainly caused by staphylococci, and late prosthetic endocarditis has a similar etiology as native valve ...

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 1990
From January/1983 to March/1988, 28 patients were submitted to valve replacements for prosthetic valve endocarditis in 1,512 valve replacements. Seventeen patients were male, their mean age was 36.7 +/- 12.9 years old, and eight cases were operated under emergency condition.
