Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
During 1982 and 1983, five patients with prosthetic heart valves and documented Salmonella bacteremia were admitted to the Instituto Nacional de Cardiolog ía in Mexico City. The clinical and microbiologic features in this group of patients are described, as well as the therapeutic implications when Salmonella bacteremia is present in patients with heart prostheses. None of the patients had evidence of infectious endocarditis; however, all received prolonged parenteral antimicrobial therapy for at least four weeks with ampicillin or chloramphenicol, with excellent clinical response. |
