In the past, these infections were uniformly fatal, but since the development of potent antimicrobial agents, bac teriological cure has become practical and predictable. So, for a while, it seemed that intravascular infection would diminish in importance and be relegated to the stockpile of illnesses which physicians, one or two generations earlier, used to see frequently. In recent years, however, spectacular technological advances (cardiac surgery, intravascular devices, hemodialysis), accompanied by profound social deterioration (intravenous drug usage), have provided new breeding grounds for the development of these infections. So it is that a large percentage of intravascular infections may be looked upon today as one of the diseases of medical progress and social evolution. This "progress," however, has not only contributed to the encouragement of the disease; there is another side to the coin: the same technological advances that have served to increase the frequency of infection (e. g. , intravascular plastic catheters) have also led to the first simp | 出版日期 | Book 1982 | 关键词 | antibiotics; antimicrobial; bacteremia; bacteria; bacteriology; infection; infections; infective endocardit | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-8208-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-8210-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-8208-9 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1982 |
