Popis: Prognostic significance of various clinical and laboratory indices for predicting the course and outcome of infectious endocarditis (IE) has been analyzed for 139 IE patients aged 15-68 (77 males and 62 females). The unfavourable prognosis was associated with uncontrollable sepsis, persistence of circulating immune complexes and developing glomerulonephritis. The latter had also prognostic signs unfavourable for IE: moderate or severe proteinuria and/or cylindruria, reduced renal function, diffuse proliferation, pronounced extracapillary and/or tubulointerstitial components.
