Unsuspected rheumatic heart underlying group B streptococcal endocarditis at the age of 20 months.

Abstract

The case is reported of a 20-month-old girl admitted to our centre for group B streptococcal endocarditis who died of complete atrioventricular block after a week of treatment. There was no history pointing to the presence of a heart disorder. Necropsy disclosed the surprising existence of a vast rheumatic carditis involving essentially the aortic and mitral valves, with bacterial superinfection of the former. The double rheumatic and infectious lesion in such a young patient with infective pseudo-aneurysms of the sinuses of Valsalva makes this an exceptional case.
