Q

Bacteremia

A

The invasion of the blood stream by pathogenic bacteria.

81
Q

primary bacteremia

A

Most often a nosocomial infection that is typically associated with an indwelling intravascular catheter, or it is a result of direct inoculation of the blood stream as, for example, a result of intravenous drug use.

82
Q

secondary bacteremia

A

Occurs when microorganisms causing infection at another site (e.g. pneumonia, pyelonephritis, skin or soft tissue) invade the blood stream and disseminate via the circulation

83
Q

infective endocarditis

A

Infection of the endocardial surface of the heart, usually the heart valves. Infection may rarely occur on the chordae tendinae or the atrial or ventricular wall surfaces especially at an area of anatomic abnormality such as septal defects or arteriovenous shunts (such as patent ductus arteriosus). Historically, infective endocarditis has been classified by the timing of the infection.

84
Q

acute bacterial endocarditis

A

Infection caused by invasive pyogenic bacteria, such as S. aureus, and characterized by high fevers and a relatively short toxic course of a few days to weeks. Structurally normal or abnormal valves may be involved.

85
Q

subacute bacterial endocarditis

A

More indolent infection caused by less virulent bacteria characterized by lower fevers, prolonged constitutional symptoms of anorexia, weight loss, and night sweats lasting for several weeks. This is usually an infection of abnormal valvular surfaces.
