Successful Treatment of Infective Endocarditis Vegetation with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in a Term Newborn

Yenidoğanda enfektif endokardit ve kardiyak tromboz gelişimi, nadir ancak ciddi bir komplikasyondur. Burada rekombinan doku plazminojen aktivatörü kullanılarak başarı ile tedavi edilen antimikrobiyal tedaviye yanıt vermeyen ve cerrahi tedaviye uygun olmayan bir Stafilokokkal infektif endokardit olgusu sunulmuştur

Term Bir Yenidoğanda Rekombinan Doku Plazminojen Aktivatörü ile Başarı ile Tedavi Edilen İnfektif Endokardit Olgusu

The development of infective endocarditis and cardiac thrombus is a rare but serious complication in the newborn infant. Herein we report the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in a term infant to successfully treat a Staphylococcal infective endocarditis vegetation that was unresponsive to antimicrobial therapy and not amenable to surgical therapy
