The diagnosis was established by two-dimensional echocardiography in 11 patients and at postmortem in the remaining four patients who succumbed shortly after admission. Fever, tachypnoea and pneumonia were universal features. A successful outcome ensued in eight patients with medical therapy alone and in two patients who were submitted to valve replacement.
