    This study explored antibiotic therapy for staphylococcal endocarditis using lincomycin and streptomycin. While two patients recovered, three experienced fatal outcomes, highlighting treatment challenges in severe cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Staphylococcal endocarditis presents a significant therapeutic challenge.
    • Antibiotic resistance and treatment efficacy are critical concerns in managing infective endocarditis.
    • Evaluating novel antibiotic combinations is essential for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the therapeutic outcomes of five patients with staphylococcal endocarditis treated with lincomycin-streptomycin.

    Summary:

    • Five patients with staphylococcal endocarditis received treatment with lincomycin and streptomycin.
    • Two patients achieved clinical cure, while two died from complications despite initial improvement.
    • One patient succumbed to encephalomalacia with hemorrhage, despite negative blood cultures and fever resolution.
