Page 434 - ... blood. It is not necessary that such organisms should gain access to the blood immediately preceding the manifestation of the endocarditis. We believe that various forms of pyogenetic bacteria may remain latent in the body for a long time, and so that form of bacteria which is to produce the ulceration on the endocardium may have entered the body and have been stored in some tissue capable of resisting its pathogenic influence.

Page 128 - ... greatly from the adult; again, this is largely a question of individuality, as we find some children who not only seem predisposed to this condition, but in whom not only all the symptoms of myocardial insufficiency develop as completely as in the adult, but also continue to do so upon comparatively slight provocation. While this is the case, yet the prognosis differs in the two periods of life, in that, once the great storm of symptoms has passed over, the child's heart recovers itself more...
