一名患有先天性心脏病的13岁女童在接受脐部穿刺后不久出现严重威胁生命的感染性心内膜炎。目前对于患有先天性心脏病的患者在接受脐部穿刺前是否应该使用抗生素预防感染还没有明确规定。研究人员认为,这名女孩的案例说明,患有先天性心脏病的患者在做脐部穿刺前,应被告知存在感染风险,并可能导致感染性心内膜炎。
A 13-year-old girl with a congenital heart disease developed a serious life-threatening infective endocarditis shortly after receiving an umbilical cord. It is not yet clear whether antibiotics should be used to prevent infection in patients with congenital heart disease before undergoing umbilical cord aspiration. The researcher concluded that the girl’s case shows that patients with congenital heart disease should be told of the risk of infection before doing umbilical puncture and may lead to infective endocarditis.
