Children endocarditis

Children endocarditis

Symptoms of endocarditis in children:

    Endocarditis is known to be one of the most dangerous types of infections that affect the endocardium, which is the membrane that covers the inner chambers of the heart. Children with heart disease suffer from this infection, while endocarditis actually has symptoms similar to those of an infection.

    These symptoms can be explained in this way.

    * Increase the body temperature from 37.5 to 38.5 degrees for five to seven days.  Headache.  Rub the skin.  Kashoda  Feeling of general weakness.  Feeling of pain in muscles and joints, for example: pain in the joints of the shoulder, knee and fingers.  Weight loss.  Sweat.

    Causes of endocarditis in children:

    Endocarditis is often caused by a bacterial infection, sometimes by a fungal infection, and sometimes by an unknown cause, and in fact these germs enter the bloodstream and from there into the heart center.  If present, such as intravenous catheterization, dental surgery or other minor surgeries, and as mentioned earlier, children with heart diseases are more likely to develop endocarditis such as heart failure or valvular heart disease.  Children who have died or who have had heart muscle surgery, such as a heart valve implant.

    Treatment and prevention:

    Maintaining oral and dental health and hygiene is a very important preventive measure against endocarditis in children, as it is the most common source of oral bacteria that causes endocarditis and is already given to children at risk before dental surgery.  Consult an antibiotic and a specialist if the temperature rises in children for more than five days,

    * Since skin diagnosis and treatment is the best way to avoid complications of endocarditis, endocarditis in children can be treated with prescription antibiotics for four to six weeks, sometimes even if surgeons are affected, and surgery can be performed.  If the heart is heavy or does not respond to antibiotics.
