ADVANCED MITRAL STENOSIS AT THREE YEARS OLD

Abstract
An unusual pathologic report of an infant dying at the age of 2 yrs. and 10 mos. with the signs of heart failure, whose enlarged heart showed chronic endocarditis with marked mitral stenosis and no signs of active or acute rheumatic carditis. There was evidence against the suspicion that the infant had had intra-uterine endocarditis.
