| polypous endocarditis | Bacterial endocarditis with the formation of pedunculated masses of fibrin, or thrombi, attached to the ulcerated valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| septic endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis | Verrucous endocardial lesions occurring in the terminal stages of many chronic infectious and wasting diseases. Synonym: abacterial thrombotic endocarditis, cachectic endocarditis, terminal endocarditis, thromboendocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| isolated parietal endocarditis | Fibrous thickening of the endocardium of the left ventricle without valvular involvement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal endocarditis | Verrucous endocardial lesions occurring in the terminal stages of many chronic infectious and wasting diseases. Synonym: abacterial thrombotic endocarditis, cachectic endocarditis, terminal endocarditis, thromboendocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endocarditis | <pathology> Exudative and proliferative inflammatory alterations of the endocardium, characterised by the presence of vegetations on the surface of the endocardium or in the endocardium itself and most commonly involving a heart valve, but sometimes affecting the inner lining of the cardiac chambers or the endocardium elsewhere. It may occur as a primary disorder or as a complication of or in association with another disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| endocarditis chordalis | Endocarditis affecting particularly the chordae tendineae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Libman-Sacks endocarditis | Verrucous endocarditis sometimes associated with disseminated lupus erythematosus. Synonym: atypical verrucous endocarditis, Libman-Sacks syndrome, nonbacterial verrucous endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Loffler's endocarditis | Fibroplastic parietal endocarditis with eosinophilia, an endocarditis of obscure cause characterised by progressive congestive heart failure, multiple systemic emboli, and eosinophilia. Synonym: Loffler's disease, Loffler's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Loffler's parietal fibroplastic endocarditis | Sclerosis of the endocardium in the presence of a high eosinophile count. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adhesins, bacterial | Cell-surface components or appendages of bacteria that facilitate adhesion (bacterial adhesion) to other cells or to inanimate surfaces. most fimbriae (fimbriae, bacterial) of gram-negative bacteria function as adhesins, but in many cases it is a minor subunit protein at the tip of the fimbriae that is the actual adhesin. In gram-positive bacteria, a protein or polysaccharide surface layer serves as the specific adhesin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antibodies, bacterial | Immunoglobulins induced by substances elaborated by bacteria that have an antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, bacterial | Substances elaborated by bacteria that have antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
