Abstract
Seventeen patients with subacute bacterial endocarditis caused by penicillinsensitive streptococci were treated for 2 weeks with a combination of phenoxymethyl penicillin (penicillin V) by mouth and streptomycin intramuscularly. No bacteriological relapses were observed in follow-up periods ranging from 6 to 54 months. Three patients died 22 to 34 months after treatment, one from burns, one from cardiac failure, and one suddenly, causes unknown.Keywords
