Key result
Malignant endocarditis manifests with diverse symptoms driven by septicemia and microbic destruction of valves.
Why the study?
Malignant endocarditis presents with a great variety of clinical symptoms and lacks a clear classification system.
A historical lecture discussing the clinical symptoms and classification of malignant endocarditis.
Highlights diagnostic challenges from symptom diversity in endocarditis; leaves open refinement of classification systems with modern data.
GENTLEMEN,-Ipropose to bring to your notice some cases of malignant endocarditis, with the object of showing you what a great variety of clinical symptoms such cases present, and of discussing the possibility of classifying them.In malignant endocarditis we have a condition of septicaemia associated with microbic endocarditis, and attended, as a rule, to which exceptions are rare, by pyre-xia.The microbic process taking place in the current of the circulation, and bringing about as it does the destruction of the valves, allows the distribution of the micro-organisms, and of fragments of fibrin and of necrosed valve tissue to all parts of the body;
