li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


apse, rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, c
li li li li li li li li li li li li

li li li li li li li li li li li


ing, wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms
li li li li li li li li li li li l


such as nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic

li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


ecome positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is m
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


ade by chest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
li li li li li li li li li
