Eighteen children with infective endocarditis were detected over seven years. Fever, gastrointestinal and chest symptoms were striking features. Anaemia, elevated leukocyte count and sedimentation rate were constant laboratory findings. Strep. Viridans and Staph. Aureus were the commonest organisms isolated. We concluded that rheumatic and congenital heart disease are equally important in predisposition to infective endocarditis.
七年间共检测出18例感染性心内膜炎患儿。发热、胃肠道及胸部症状是显著特征。贫血、白细胞计数及血沉升高是常见的实验室检查结果。草绿色链球菌和金黄色葡萄球菌是最常分离出的病原体。我们得出结论，风湿性心脏病和先天性心脏病在感染性心内膜炎的易患因素中同样重要。
