showed a branch occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery at the site of the hemorrhage, but no evidence of mycotic aneurysms [Figures A-C]. The working diagnosis of cerebral infarct with unknown etiology led to subsequent investigations, which did not reveal any associated coagulopathies and the panel of autoimmune markers was within normal limits. Lumbar puncture showed pleocytosis with 3...

The echocardiographic abnormalities in five cases of aortic valve endocarditis are described and are correlated with the anatomical appearance of the valve at the time of aortic valve replacement. These echocardiographic findings are compared with those which have been reported previously in this condition. Thickening of the aortic leaflets in systole or multiple linear or coalescent aortic val...

findings, and the invariant electrocardiograms made it impossible to establish clinically this diagnosis in the case at hand. Exudative mural endocarditis secondarv to bacterial infection. without a similar reaction in the valvular endocardium, is uncommon though Trasoff and Meranze7 mentioned this possibility in association with a Pneumococcal infection. They described a heart with a large thr...

Presented is a case of a young, polytoxicomaniac male with a history of intravenous drug abuse. He arrived at our department in a septic state with fever and showed signs of right-sided decompensated cardiac insufficiency. The patient tested positive for hepatitis C, and blood cultures were positive for Staphylococcus aureus. A thoracic computed tomographic scan revealed bilateral, multiple sep...
