| septic endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| subacute bacterial endocarditis | Subacute bacterial endocarditis is usually due to Streptococcus viridans or S. Fecalis. (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) |
| nonbacterial verrucous endocarditis | Verrucous endocarditis sometimes associated with disseminated lupus erythematosus. Synonym: atypical verrucous endocarditis, Libman-Sacks syndrome, nonbacterial verrucous endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infective endocarditis | Endocarditis due to infection by microorganisms. (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) |
| endocarditis, subacute bacterial | Infection of the endocardium caused by species of streptococcus. This condition does not produce metastatic foci and if untreated may take up to a year to be fatal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| acute infectious nonbacterial gastroenteritis | An epidemic, highly communicable but rather mild disease of sudden onset, caused by the epidemic gastroenteritis virus (especially Norwalk agent), with an incubation period of 16 to 48 hours and a duration of 1 to 2 days, which affects all age groups; infection is associated with some fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache, one or another of which may be predominant. Synonym: acute infectious nonbacterial gastroenteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arthritis, infectious | Arthritis caused by bacteria, rickettsiae, mycoplasmas, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Bacterial arthritis is frequently caused by staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, and neisseria gonorrhoeae. Viral arthritis is less common than bacterial arthritis and may be a manifestation of such viral diseases as mumps, rubella, hepatitis, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
