Abstract |
We experienced two cases of staphylococcal infective endocarditis. The echocardiograms showed vegetations at the posterior leaflet of mitral valve and pulmonary arterial end of PDA, respectively. The serial two-dimensional echocardiograms revealed the fate of these vegetations on prolonged antimicrobial therapy. Also we reviewed the literatures.
