[Association of streptococcal spondylitis and endocarditis. 2 new cases]

Two new cases of spondylitis associated with endocarditis are reported. Approximately 30 cases have already been published in the medical literature. Although this association is infrequent, the possibility of its occurrence calls for repeated auscultation in patients with spondylitis and focal roentgenograms in patient with bacterial endocarditis who develop vertebral pain.
