ABSTRACT
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the endocardium and/or heart valves. Although more common in adults than in children, it is important to identify and treat IE because of its significant morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes the main features involved in the IE pathogenesis and treatment to reduce and prevent IE risk. A comprehensive search of published literature using the PubMed (HTTP:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/) database was carried out to identify all articles published in English in peer-reviewed journals. The search terms included ("Infective Endocarditis") AND ("Young" OR "Children" OR "Adolescence"). Copyright © 2022, Biolife s.a.s.. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) characterized by multisystemic involvement with multi-organ complications. The recent Covid-19 pandemic had a major impact on the management and treatment of patients with LSDs, who also experienced significant psychological distress following the pandemic. Several experiences described so far demonstrate that telemedicine and home therapy programs are valid tools for the follow-up and care of patients suffering from these complex chronic diseases.
