Endocarditis Research Paper

Endocarditis (IE) is an infectious disease affects the inner parts of the heart especially the heart valves. In spite of fungi can rarely cause IE, bacteria are considered the main cause of IE particularly Staphylococci, Streptococci, and Enterococci. IE is associated with fever, night sweats, weight and appetite loss, and cardiac and pulmonary illness. The diagnostic method is not complicated but it can not be obtained immediately with possibility of presence of negative results which effect on the final decision of the clinical team and the rate of recovering. Antimicrobial and surgery are the optimal treatment methods for IE. The difficulties of the treatment are being in IE cases with specific complications. Despite the use of antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended, its benefits are still uncertain.

Introduction Endocarditis

Infectious agents are considered the most reason that causes IE by sticking to interior parts of the heart such as cardiac valves to damage the valves and make vegetations which including of bacteria, inflammatory mediators, and cells 9. Despite there are several microorganisms can cause IE, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ) is the most common isolated pathogen in IE 8. The difficulties connected with IE become greater than the past. IE's patients are older and sicker, virulent staphylococci became the common reason of IE instead of penicillin-sensitive streptococci in developed countries, drug resistance is growing which is the most subject that worries scientists in treating IE. Additionally, quick and accurate diagnosis and decision from specialists are required, and providing high-level care is not simple for patients with IE
