(b) Progression from one stage to the next is dependent upon both agent properties of infectivity, pathogenicity, and virulence, and host susceptibility to infection and disease, which is in large part due to both protective and adverse effects of the host immune response.Credit: Modification of...
Furthermore, underweight may also indicate the severity, duration, and an advanced stage of the disease in patients with IE. Hence, diagnosing IE in an early stage, and appropriate management of IE is essential in terms of better postoperative outcomes. In addition to its correlation with ...
The objectives were to: (1) describe incidence, clinical profile and epidemiology of patients with aortic site IE treated with aortic valve (AV)-surgery compared with a control group undergoing AVR due to non-infectious valvular heart disease; and (2) assess predictors of short- and long-term...
