- Fever
Symptoms of Endocarditis The symptoms of endocarditis include: High fever or persistent low-grade fever Fever occurs when the body's immune system fights off the bacterial infection. [healthinplainenglish.com]

In the interim she had developed a fever (38.3°C), had chills, and had worsening right hip pain. Repeat physical examination showed deterioration in range of motion at her right hip with significant pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An X-ray of her right hip showed severe joint space narrowing with osteophytosis consistent with severe osteoarthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
However, there are many controversial strategies for the treatment of patients with IgA nephropathy throughout the world, as there are several limitations for treatment in each country. [books.google.com]
Treatment An appropriate antibiotic regimen is essential for the successful treatment of bacterial endocarditis. [aafp.org]
Usually, 4-6 weeks of treatment are sufficient to obtain a positive outcome in osteomyelitis cases. [jbji.net]
Conclusion: H. parainfluenzae surgical wound and vascular graft infections are uncommon, and quick diagnosis and preservation of the graft is of great importance in treatment. [jmmcr.microbiologyresearch.org]
Treatment The treatment of viral illnesses, including those caused by parainfluenza viruses, should not involve the use of antibacterials, which are not effective against viruses. [healthychildren.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis Endocarditis is fatal if not treated, especially for those with heart defects. However, if caught early and treated with antibiotics, the prognosis is good. [healthinplainenglish.com]
In a series of 57 cases of A actinomycetemcomitans endocarditis, poor dentition (46%) and abnormal cardiac valves (60%) were found to be predisposing factors. [12] Prognosis The prognosis is quite variable, depending on many factors, such as delay in [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis The sequelae following Hib meningitis may include deafness, convulsions and intellectual impairment. [patient.info]
Etiology
It covers genetic variation, aberrant IgA1 production, and classification etiology, guidelines, and treatment goals, with all chapters written by top international researchers. [books.google.com]
Nonbacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome are more common than bacterial prostatitis, and their etiologies are largely unknown. Most urinary tract and prostate infections are caused by Gram-negative bacilli. [jfcmonline.com]
Overall, these organisms are the leading cause of exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and the second most common etiology of acute otitis media and sinusitis. [encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com]
