This report summarizes data on sixteen patients with enterococcal endocarditis treated with penicillin and streptomycin. The experience reported suggests that a four week period is adequate for routine therapy in these patients, as in other forms of streptococcal endocarditis. It provides an additional group of patients successfully treated with penicillin and streptomycin. Two relapses were encountered. One of these received inadequate daily doses of penicillin. The other patient was clearly a failure of penicillin and streptomycin, but the failure in this instance could not be attributed to foreshortened treatment (6 weeks) or to high level streptomycin resistance of the infecting strain of Enterococcus.
本报告总结了16例接受青霉素和链霉素治疗的肠球菌性心内膜炎患者的数据。报告的经验表明,与其他形式的链球菌性心内膜炎一样,四周疗程对这些患者的常规治疗是足够的。它提供了另一组成功接受青霉素和链霉素治疗的患者。出现了两例复发。其中一例每日青霉素剂量不足。另一例患者显然是青霉素和链霉素治疗失败,但这种情况下的失败不能归因于治疗疗程缩短(6周)或感染的肠球菌菌株对链霉素的高水平耐药。
