My mother finished the mitral valve replacement in the hospital last month at 4.19 because of rheumatic heart disease. For the St. Jude mechanical mechanical film, but about ten days after surgery, began to appear low fever generally between 37.5-38.3, then went to the hospital trip. These days the hospital has been treated with amoxicillin and cephradine. But there is no effect, every afternoon there will be symptoms of low fever. ESR and blood, heart color Doppler ultrasound check all right. The results of bacterial culture has not come out, the afternoon will do under the CT.



I would like to ask how much the possibility of virus infection. Will it be only because of the heat of drugs or postoperative heat absorption, as well as bad tissue caused by dead skin burning it?

My English are translated directly from Google may be some more blunt We hope that we can look patiently

I would be more concerned with the possibility of rejection and immune phenomena, as described in this article:
