Relation of Bacterial Endocarditis to Urology

Abstract

Although bacterial endocarditis, in relation to surgery and manipulation of the lower urinary tract, has been stressed in the American literature, there have been comparatively few reports in the British Journals, though some of the earlier observations on bacteremia, following urethral manipulations, were reported in Britain. Thus in awareness of the incidence of bacterial endocarditis in relation to urology the clinician should be aware of the importance of a routine blood culture which should be performed following any uretheral manoeuvre, as this is the only way of making an early diagnosis and thereby preventing complications..
