Clear All Filters ×E. coli Infections
E. coli is the name of a type of bacteria that lives in your intestines. Most types of E. coli are harmless. However, some types can make you sick and cause diarrhea . One type causes travelers' diarrhea. The worst type of E. coli causes bloody diarrhea, and can sometimes cause kidney failure and even death. These problems are most likely to occur in children and in adults with weak immune systems. You can get E. coli infections by eating foods containing the bacteria. Symptoms of infection include: Nausea or vomiting Severe abdominal cramps Watery or very bloody diarrhea Fatigue Fever To help avoid food poisoning and prevent infection, handle food safely .
Echinococcosis
Within Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections practice, Echinococcosis (ICD-10 B67.90) is stratified through sepsis/severity red-flag triage [Echinococcosis B67.90], pairing targeted symptom control with longitudinal Targeted PCR / in Echinococcosis (B67.90: Culture & Sensitivity) surveillance.
Eczema herpeticum
For patients presenting with Eczema herpeticum (ICD-10-CM B00.0), Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections protocols prioritize antimicrobial stewardship (narrow-spectrum in Eczema herpeticum (B00.0: pathogen-directed duration) or) paired with baseline and interval C-Reactive Protein / in Eczema herpeticum (B00.0: Procalcitonin) assessment.
Encephalitis
What is encephalitis? Encephalitis is inflammation (swelling) of the brain. It can happen when an infection or medical condition that affects the brain activates your immune system. The inflammation can cause a wide range of symptoms. In extreme cases, it can lead to brain damage, stroke , or even death. What causes encephalitis? There are different types of encephalitis, based on what the cause is. The two main types are infectious encephalitis and autoimmune encephalitis. Infectious encephalitis is usually caused by a virus . In fact, viruses are the most common cause of encephalitis.
Endocarditis
What is endocarditis? Endocarditis is sometimes called infective endocarditis. It's a rare but life-threatening inflammation of the lining inside your heart's chambers and valves (the endocardium). Endocarditis is usually caused by germs that get into your bloodstream and travel to your heart. Once they get inside your heart, the germs can attach to the lining or get trapped in the valves. They start to grow, causing an infection. If not treated quickly, the infection can cause damage to the heart and lead to serious health problems. What causes endocarditis? Bacterial infections cause most endocarditis.
Endocarditis - subacute bacterial
Clinical triage of Endocarditis - subacute bacterial (I33.0) in Infections & Antivirals relies on sepsis/severity red-flag triage [Endocarditis - subacute bacterial I33.0], guiding step-wise therapeutic adjustments toward Complete Blood Count in Endocarditis - subacute bacterial (I33.0: (WBC & Differential)) (WBC 4.0 – 10.0 x10^3/uL (I33.0)).
Eosinophilic Disorders
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell. They help fight off infections and play a role in your body's immune response. They can also build up and cause inflammation. Normally your blood doesn't have a large number of eosinophils. Your body may produce more of them in response to: Allergic disorders Skin conditions Parasitic and fungal infections Autoimmune diseases Some cancers Bone marrow disorders In some conditions, the eosinophils can move outside the bloodstream and build up in organs and tissues. This can happen in many different parts of the body, including the esophagus , heart, lungs, blood, and intestines.
Erysipelas
Erysipelas is an ICD-10-CM indexed diagnosis (A46) within Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections. Clinical evaluation centers on antimicrobial stewardship (narrow-spectrum in Erysipelas (A46: pathogen-directed duration) or) alongside serial C-Reactive Protein / in Erysipelas (A46: Procalcitonin) tracking (Resolution to baseline (A46)) to guide individualized care.
Erythema migrans
Under Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections diagnostic criteria (A69.20), workup for Erythema migrans (also termed Erythema or Erythematous) integrates bacterial/fungal culture with in Erythema migrans (A69.20: antimicrobial susceptibility testing) with evidence-graded therapy tailored to Targeted PCR / in Erythema migrans (A69.20: Culture & Sensitivity) response.
