Endocarditis con cultivo negativo
Nombres alternativos:
Endocarditis de cultivo negativo
Tratamiento:
La endocarditis se trata con antibióticos intravenosos o medicamentos antimicóticos durante un perÃodo prolongado (por lo general, al menos durante 6 semanas) y algunos pacientes pueden requerir una cirugÃa del corazón.
Complicaciones:
Las complicaciones de la endocarditis comprenden:
- Insuficiencia cardÃaca congestiva
- Absceso perivalvular
- FÃstula intracardÃaca (conexiones anormales dentro del corazón)
- Émbolos infectados (coágulos sanguÃneos infectados que pueden viajar a través de la circulación y causar obstrucción de los vasos sanguÃneos y accidente cerebrovascular)
Todas estas complicaciones usualmente requieren cirugÃa, ya sea para retirar las excrecencias o abscesos, para reparar las válvulas o para reemplazarlas con válvulas artificiales.
