[Infectious endocarditis: its resistance to therapy, causative factors and means of combating it].

Based on the data obtained during observation over 270 patients with infectious endocarditis the authors discuss factors that cause antibacterial therapy resistance encountered particularly often over the recent decade. Among the factors, the authors mark polyetiology of the disease over the recent years, "new" patterns of endocarditis in terms of the pathogenesis, predominance of primary endocarditis with highly virulent microorganisms, late disease diagnosis, inadequate antibacterial treatment, and so forth. Approaches to overcoming treatment resistance are also considered.

[Diagnosis of infectious endocarditis and the assessment of the effectiveness of its treatment].

The results of investigation and treatment of 58 patients with infectious endocarditis are presented. Changed clinical pattern of the disease, its increasing incidence among older people and the emergence of its "immunologic" variety with signs of myocarditis, vasculitis and, less commonly, glomerulonephritis have been noted over recent years. The disease has become polyetiologic. Methods of treatment for infectious endocarditis are discussed with reference to the etiology and clinical pattern of the disease. Indications for surgical treatment are outlined.

[Infectious endocarditis: problems of diagnosis and nomenclature].

Altogether 240 patients with infectious endocarditis (IE) were examined. The problems of IE diagnosis, particularly the reasons for late and initially erroneous disease diagnosis are discussed on the basis of the authors' own and reported data. The differential-diagnostic table containing the criteria of differential diagnosis of IE, rheumatic fever, systemic lupus erythematosus, lymphogranulomatosis is presented.
