|---|---|
| primary atypical pneumonia | An acute systemic disease with involvement of the lungs, caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and marked by high fever, cough, relatively few physical signs, and scattered densities on X-rays; usually associated with development of cold agglutinins and antibodies to the bacteria. Synonym: atypical pneumonia, Eaton agent pneumonia, mycoplasmal pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abacterial 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) |
| acute bacterial endocarditis | A type of bacterial endocarditis caused by pyogenic organisms such as haemolytic streptococci or staphylococci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteria-free stage of bacterial endocarditis | Endocarditis described prior to the antibiotic era and presumably due to spontaneous healing of the bacterial vegetations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial endocarditis | Endocarditis caused by the direct invasion of bacteria and leading to deformity and destruction of the valve leaflets. Two types are acute bacterial endocarditis and subacute bacterial endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cachectic 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) |
| valvular endocarditis | Inflammation confined to the endocardium of the valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignant endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vegetative endocarditis | <cardiology, pathology> Endocarditis associated with the presence of fibrinous clots (vegetations) forming on the ulcerated surfaces of the valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marantic endocarditis | Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis associated with cancer and other debilitating diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rheumatic endocarditis | Endocardial involvment as part of rheumatic heart disease, recognised clinically by valvular involvement; in the acute stage, there may be tiny fibrin vegetations along the lines of closure of the valve leaflets, with subsequent fibrous thickening and shortening of the leaflets. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mural endocarditis | Inflammation of the endocardium involving the walls of the chambers of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| constrictive endocarditis | Thickening of the endocardium due to inflammation of any origin that restricts the diastolic relaxation of one or both ventricles producing diastolic ventricular failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycotic endocarditis | Endocarditis due to infection by fungi. (05 Mar 2000) |
