Medical management of endocarditis.
The treatment of infective endocarditis with antibiotics is one of the great medical success stories of this century, reducing mortality from 100% to as low as 10%. It is important for all medical and dental practitioners to be aware of endocarditis as the disease may be inadvertently caused by the treatment of other conditions.
