[Evolution of protracted septic endocarditis].
A study of 1000 cases of septic endocarditis served as a basis for an analysis of the natural history of the diseases (1939-1972): changes in its etiology, clinical course and therapy. The increasing frequency of hospital infection (endocarditis) is emphasized. The characteristics of Staphylococcal and fungal endocarditis are presented, those of the lesion developing on heart valve prostheses as well. The classification of septic endocarditis is analysed, the stages of its activeness are described (III, II, I) along with the clinical and laboratory signs. Schemes of etiotropic therapy are presented, as well as rational combinations of antibiotics. The role of surgery in the management of primary septic endocarditis is described, and the rationale of preventive employment of antibiotics is discussed.
