[Case of infectious endocarditis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].
A patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and infectious endocarditis has been described, confirmed clinically and bacteriologically. L-forms of alpha-streptococcus were isolated from the hemocultures. Aortic valve was affected in the course of the septic process. That morbid state was very favourable influenced by the treatment with high dose penicillin, combined with streptomycin. The control hemocultures 40 days after the discontinuation of the treatment proved to be negative.
