Subacute bacterial endocarditis arising in mural thrombi following a myocardial infarction: a case report.

An unusual strain of streptococcus isolated from subacute bacterial endocarditis.

Oral treatment of subacute bacterial endocarditis in children.

Fourteen episodes of subacute bacterial endocarditis in 11 children were successfully treated with antibiotics, which in 13 cases were given largely by mouth. It is suggested that oral treatment of bacterial endocarditis should be considered for children who are only moderately but not severely ill, and who have sensitive organisms.

Esch. coli endocarditis successfully treated with oral trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole.

A 42-year-old patient was successfully treated for subacute bacterial endocarditis due to Esch. coli with oral trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole. The treatment lasted nine months and was continued through a period of cholestatic jaundice superimposed on hepatic damage due to subacute bacterial endocarditis. There were no toxic effects attributable to the two antibacterials despite their prolon...

Proportions of Streptococcus sanguis, an organism associated with subacute bacterial endocarditis, in human feces and dental plaque.

The relative absence of Streptococcus sanguis in human feces, in contrast to its high concentration on teeth, supports the concept of the mouth as the likely bacterial source in cases of subacute bacterial endocarditis involving this organism.

Pneumococcal endocarditis of subacute evolution.

With the development of penicillin, Streptococcus pneumoniae has become an uncommon cause of bacterial endocarditis in adults. Subacute manifestation of pneumococcal endocarditis has been reported a few times in the literature, but most reports define the disease as acute, severe, and having a high mortality rate. We report the case of a 58-year-old male with subacute bacterial endocarditis due...
