Abstract

With the increasing frequency of pneumococcal bacteriaemia in Denmark during the last ten years, it is important to be aware of pneumococcal endocarditis. Two cases of pneumococcal endocarditis are described and an estimate is made of the incidence. The first case had endocarditis of the aortic valve with concomitant meningitis. Acute valve replacement was necessary and recovery was complete. The second case, which started with an embolic episode, also had endocarditis of the aortic valve. This patient recovered after treatment with antibiotics.
