[Infective endocarditis: the course].

AIM: Epidemiological analysis of mortality due to infectious endocarditis (IE) and the disease evolution. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made of 109 IE lethal outcomes for 1987-1996 basing on the results of autopsies performed in Kemerovo prosectorium. RESULTS: A significant trend to a rise in death rate of IE was registered. Among the deceased there is a higher proportion of old IE patients and patients with primary IE. Many of the patients died of staphylococcal IE, greater number of patients died of gram-negative infection and IE caused by injections of narcotic drugs. CONCLUSION: Long-term trends in IE evolution are described.

[Hospital infections: the problems and ways to resolve them].

The authors present the critical analysis of the existing situation in the spread of purulent septic infections in surgical hospitals of the USSR and the state of epidemiological surveillance. Considering this situation to be highly unfavorable, the authors propose a number of urgent organizational measures (the inclusion of hospital epidemiologists into the medical staff of large clinics, the system of training in this problem). The article deals with the specific features of the epidemiological process in purulent septic infections and the main principles of the organization of the epidemiological surveillance system for this group of infections.

[Characteristics of the epidemic process in pyoseptic infections in a heart surgery hospital].

The authors conducted an epidemiologic analysis of hospital pyoseptic infections on the basis of study of the outcomes of 1,517 operations on the heart and the results of bacteriologic tests. A high frequency of secondary infectious endocarditis in acquired heart diseases was revealed, which allows operations in this group of patients to be related to the category of "conventionally clean" and shows that the proper antiseptic regimen must be organized during the operation without fail. The valves of the heart in 59.3% of patients with acquired heart diseases are affected with the causative agents of hospital pyoseptic infections. The epidemic process is characterized by high intensity of manifestations, dependence on the degree of aggression and invasion of the therapeutic and diagnostic process, the type of the operative intervention, and polymorphism of the clinical manifestations and the etiological structure. The process is of the intermittent dynamic type and is marked by a tendency towards growth of morbidity and mortality with prevalence of an endogenous mechanism of contamination. The main sources and routes of transmission of infection are shown.

[Epidemiological diagnosis of suppurative-septic hospital infections in surgery].

The authors have analyzed the results of epidemiologic diagnosis of suppurative-septic hospital infections after surgery, that helped them develop a preventive system permitting a decrease of the incidence rate of suppurative-septic infections in surgery 1.8-fold within a year. The main features of the epidemic process in suppurative-septic infections is described. A total systems approach to epidemiological diagnosis is necessitated.
