[Diagnosis of infectious endocarditis and the assessment of the effectiveness of its treatment].
The results of investigation and treatment of 58 patients with infectious endocarditis are presented. Changed clinical pattern of the disease, its increasing incidence among older people and the emergence of its "immunologic" variety with signs of myocarditis, vasculitis and, less commonly, glomerulonephritis have been noted over recent years. The disease has become polyetiologic. Methods of treatment for infectious endocarditis are discussed with reference to the etiology and clinical pattern of the disease. Indications for surgical treatment are outlined.
