Relation Between Bacteria and Temperature in Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis

摘要: Liidke,1 in an extended investigation of the cause and course disease as related to fever, found most favorable time Tor demonstration bacteremia be at point maximum pyrexia. He also stated that greatest number organisms are present when temperature is highest smallest lowest. Analysis his protocols fails justify conclusions. Studying pneumonia, he took two blood cultures, one before following crisis, elapsed interval being from fifteen thirty hours. not after since there was accompanying drop correlated two. This does appear justified, factors likely part a complex mechanism may have no direct causal relationship other. Furthermore, too long, dealing with self-limited disease, usually terminating by which such general conclusion could scarcely drawn. Such generalization certainly applicable cases subacute bacterial endocarditis,
