Guo Yanfu confirmed influenza complicated with endocarditis! How to prevent endocarditis with symptoms similar to a cold?

Editor's Note: Guo Yanfu, who turned from an artist to an artist and once exhibited his paintings in the paid exhibition space of the Louvre, was shocked by the flu virus in Los Angeles, USA. Fortunately, Liu Genghong's "emergency rescue" took him to see a doctor and pulled him back from the grave. In an interview with Apple Instant, Guo Yanfu said that he found cold symptoms before flying to the United States. He thought the symptoms were mild, so he went to the pediatric clinic to get medicine. As a result, he suddenly felt an abnormal pain in his heart on the plane, but he persisted all the way. Finally, he found that it was really not working. He knocked on Liu Genghong's door with his last physical strength and asked for help. As soon as Liu saw it, he immediately took him everywhere to find the hospital. Fortunately, he finally arrived at the hospital in time, and was diagnosed and treated by doctors in Taiwan Province and the United States before he walked out of the gate of hell. After the diagnosis, Guo Yanfu was diagnosed with endocarditis complicated with influenza. The doctor said that if he was two hours late, he would probably go into heart shock. Guo Yanfu relayed the doctor's words and said, "The doctor said I was infected with the virus. For the first time in my life, I felt a strong inner discomfort. I can't describe the pain. I really almost thought I was leaving. Endocarditis refers to inflammation of the innermost layer of the heart (heart valve, inner wall of ventricle and atrium), which is mainly caused by bacterial infection. These bacteria usually enter from other parts of the body and then infect the heart through blood circulation. The clinical symptoms of endocarditis are similar to the common cold, but the bacteria that cause inflammation will form vegetation on the endocardium and may fall off into the blood circulation, so they may get stuck in small blood vessels and cause blockage. If it gets stuck in the brain, it will lead to a stroke. In addition, the heart itself cannot maintain normal function. When the heart can't load, heart failure will occur, which will affect other organs of the body, such as the kidneys. Harvard Health Publishing pointed out that endocarditis may have different severity according to the pathogenicity of infected bacteria: acute endocarditis: usually caused by more invasive bacteria (such as staphylococcus) entering the heart with blood flow and attacking normal heart valves. When staphylococcus begins to proliferate in the heart, it will produce septic thrombus and enter the blood, spreading to the kidneys, lungs and brain. Patients receiving intravenous injection have a high risk of acute endocarditis, because a large number of acupuncture will increase the chances of staphylococcus entering the human body from skin wounds. If left untreated, acute endocarditis will lead to death within 6 weeks. Subacute endocarditis: usually caused by streptococcus in the mouth and throat. In addition, patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as diverticulitis and intestinal cancer may also be infected by other streptococci. Subacute endocarditis usually infects abnormal heart valves (valve stenosis, leakage, etc.). ), which usually leads to atypical symptoms and may last for several weeks before diagnosis. Endocarditis symptoms? The initial symptoms of endocarditis are similar to the common cold, and it is easy for patients to delay seeking medical treatment. Acute endocarditis, high fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, extreme fatigue, subacute endocarditis, low fever (below 39.4℃), chills, night sweats, muscle and joint pain, persistent fatigue, headache, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, weight loss, induration of fingers and toes, white eyes, upper jaw, inner cheek, chest, fingers and toes. In addition, edema of lower limbs and heart murmur may also be symptoms of endocarditis.

In addition, edema of lower limbs and heart murmur may also be symptoms of endocarditis. High-risk group of endocarditis: some behaviors that easily make bacteria enter the blood and structural problems of the heart itself will increase the incidence of endocarditis. Drug addicts: bacteria easily enter the blood circulation through unclean intravenous injection. People with endocarditis in the past, people with congenital heart defects, people who have recently undergone dental surgery, people with gum disease and people who use intravenous catheters. How should endocarditis be treated? A large amount of antibiotics is the main way to treat endocarditis (1). Wide-acting antibiotics were given, and targeted antibiotics were given after the results of bacterial culture came out. (2) Surgery: When the condition is serious, it may be necessary to surgically remove vegetation and repair damaged tissue. According to the Cleveland Clinic, according to the American Heart Association, endocarditis is related to bacteria in daily life, in contrast, it is related to infections in oral, gastrointestinal or urogenital surgery. Good oral hygiene can reduce the risk of infective endocarditis. Generally speaking, colds and flu do not cause endocarditis, but similar symptoms may occur, so if symptoms appear, seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid aggravating infection. Prophylactic use of antibiotics before operation is only beneficial to patients with high risk of infection, including patients with prosthetic valves, patients with infective endocarditis and congenital heart disease.
