Libman's Disease

Libman's disease is a disease characterized by damage to connective tissue and organs caused by a bacterial infection. This disease was first described by the American physician Ernst Libman in 1897.

Libman's disease is caused by bacteria such as streptococcus, staphylococcus and others. Infection occurs through the blood or lymph, which leads to inflammation and damage to the connective tissue. Symptoms of the disease may include fever, chills, pain in joints, muscles and other organs.

Treatment for Libman's disease involves the use of antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause the disease. Anti-inflammatory drugs and immunomodulators may also be used to reduce inflammation and improve the patient's condition.

It is important to note that Libman disease can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Therefore, if symptoms of the disease appear, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
