The records of 46 @entity1 with @entity884 diagnosed either clinically or post-mortem were analyzed. Twenty-six @entity1 were over 60 years of age. @entity794 was the predominant organism, almost exclusively found in @entity1 with @entity697 . Thirty-six @entity1 had pre-existing @entity299 , the most common being non-rheumatic @entity340 and @entity154 . Two thirds of the @entity1 , especially those with @entity337 , developed new or progressive @entity712 . A correct clinical diagnosis was established in only 30 @entity1 . Twenty-three @entity1 died, the mortality being 71% in acute and 32% in subacute disease. Only one of eight @entity1 with @entity281 died. Four @entity1 required urgent valve replacement. Early surgical intervention should be considered in @entity1 with uncontrolled @entity712 .
