BIFIDOBACTERIUM, КАК ВОЗМОЖНАЯ ПРИЧИНА РАЗВИТИЯ СЕПСИСА У ПАЦИЕНТА С ЦИРРОЗОМ ПЕЧЕНИ

Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare complication (0,34–1,33%) of liver cirrhosis (LC). Diagnosis of IE remains a challenge for clinicians. The patient with IE was diagnosed on the basis of 1 large (positive seeding cultures) and 3 small (rheumatic heart disease, fever, vasculitis) criteria by Duke. The peculiarity of the case was the identification of atypical pathogen IE — Bifidobacterium.
