Abstract

The appearance of a diastolic murmur in a pyrexial patient 15 days after trauma was suggestive of infectious endocarditis. This diagnosis was excluded, especially by echocardiography, and the aortic incompetence was attributed to the trauma. The value of echocardiography and the features of other reported cases are discussed with referrence to this case.
