Table 6 Indication and timing of surgery for uncontrolled infection in left-sided native valve infective endocarditis Indication Timing Locally uncontrolled infection (abscess, false aneurysm, fistula, enlarging vegetation) Urgent Persisting fever and positive blood culture >7 10 days Urgent Infection caused by fungi of multi-resistant organisms Urgent/elective Modified from Habib et al. [1].
A fresh outbreak of Ebola in a part of Sierra Leone where the virus was thought to have been contained has raised fears of a new, uncontrolled infection chain that could send the death toll soaring.
Thirty-four ulcers (58%) healed, 18 ulcers (31%) did not heal, and 7 patients (12%) required below-knee amputation for nonhealed ulcers and uncontrolled infection.
In total, 100 patients who achieved complete remission at 30 days post-transplant and had no uncontrolled infection, organ failure, or active GVHD were eligible First, prophylactic DLI was administered at 30 days after HLA-matched related HSCT or 45 to 60 days after HLA-matched unrelated HSCT or haploidentical HSCT.
One patient required amputation for uncontrolled infection.

Indications (heart failure, prevention of embolic events and uncontrolled infection) and timing of surgery (emergency, urgent and elective) were defined by current guidelines [13].
Persistent focus of infection (e.g., catheter) Uncontrolled infection (e.g., endocarditis or peritonitis) Noninfectious causes of persistent fever Transfusion-related fever Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis Venous thrombosis Drug- or transfusion-induced fever Graft-versus-host disease Underlying malignancy Pancreatitis .
