Prophylaxis For Infective Endocarditis Before Dental Procedures- A Case Report
Abstract
The usual precondition for developing endocarditis is an
underlying structural heart defect in the presence of bacteremia with organisms that can cause endocarditis. It is
known that these patients need to be given endocarditis
prophylaxis in doses that are sufficient to ensure adequate
antibiotic concentrations in the serum perioperatively. In
this paper, we aimed to remind the topic, in consideration
of current literature by figuring out the approach to a patient that has been sent by a dentist to a family practitioner demanding the adjustment in endocarditis prophylaxis
regime.
