Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common pathogen in man. The incidence of endocarditis caused by this organism has diminished in the last decades, and now it is an exceptional condition. Three patients with pneumococcal endocarditis are reported. Their clinical and epidemiological features are reviewed and compared with previous literature. One of the instances was due to a strain with high resistance to penicillin; vancomycin was a valid alternative therapy.
肺炎链球菌是人类常见的病原体。在过去几十年中，由该病原体引起的心内膜炎发病率有所下降，如今已属罕见病症。本文报告了3例肺炎球菌性心内膜炎患者。对他们的临床和流行病学特征进行了回顾，并与既往文献进行了比较。其中1例是由对青霉素高度耐药的菌株引起的；万古霉素是一种有效的替代疗法。
