A member asked:
When streptococcus are found but echo does not indicate vegetation, is the diagnosis of endocarditis persistent? antibiotic of choices? how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endocarditis: A negative transesophageal echocardiogram practically rules out endocarditis, but occasionally a repeat study a week or so later may show vegetations. A specialist in infectious diseases is best qualified to select the type of antibiotic and duration of antibiotic therapy in this serious infection.
