Abstract

In this report, we have seen a fracture of the skull which was followed by pneumococcic pneumonia type VII and meningitis. Although the meningitis improved upon sulfapyridine therapy, the patient succumbed to a pneumococcic type VII endocarditis superimposed on an old rheumatic heart lesion which was demonstrated upon autopsy.
