title: [MARKERS OF SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN PATIENTS OPERATED FOR COMPLICATIONS OF INFECTIOUS ENDOCARDITIS].
abstract: The study of markers of systemic inflammatory response in patients with infectious endocarditis showed that at admittance they had elevated blood C-reactive protein and ferritin levels while leukocyte count and fibrinogen content remained normal. C-reactive protein and ferritin levels increased on day 1 of the postoperative period and tended to grow further on day 3 when both parameters reached maximum values; they started to decrease on day 6 These data indicate that C-reactive protein and ferritin levels can be used to characterise the postoperative conditions of the patients including manifestations of systemic inflammation and outcome of surgical treatment.
