Abstract
Acute mitral valve endocarditis, presenting as a new murmur and haematuria, complicated pneumococcal meningitis in a 20-month-old child with a normal heart. Awareness of this rare complication of pneumococcaemia and its early diagnosis, using cross-sectional echocardiography, improves the clinical outcome of a condition associated with a high mortality.Entities:
