0.05).Conclusion HRCT is surperior to plain CT in grading,especially in the evaluating early lesions of sacroiliac joint,but for the moderate and serious inflammatory changes of AS, both CT and HRCT are equivalent in the diagnosis of sacroiliitis.

Objective To study the basic pathogenic cause,clinical characteristics,treatment methods and prognosis of sub-acute infective endocarditis (IE) ,and to improve the diagnosis and treatment against it Methods The basic cardiac disease,clinical characteristics,pathogenic bacteria,ultrasound cardiogram, therapy and prognosis of 36 cases of sub-acute IE was retrospectively analyzed. Results Compared to previous reports, the proportion of rheumatic cardiac disease was a little lower, whereas the proportion of congenital cardiac disease and not-recorded cardiac diseases were a little higher.The main clinical characteristics showed as fever, heart failure, increasing in number of neutrophile granulocyte,blood sedimentation and anemia, The positive rate of blood culture was 58. 33% with the most common pathogenic bacterium of streptococcus viridans. Endocardial vegetation has been diagnosed in 63. 89% of patients through-thoracic echo-cardiography. The short-term fatality rate was 19. 44% . Conclusions There have been significant changes in the basic pathogenic causes,clinical characteristics and pathogenic bacteria of sub-acute IE as compared to the previous reports. The fatality rate remains high even after active treatment. Early surgical operation is recommended to those suitable patients.
