Editor's Notes
Experience in the pre-penicillin era showed that, even patients with established rheumatic heart disease, IE only rarely followed dental extractions.
It is clear now that a few healthy patient probably less than 5 %acquire IE as a result of dental treatment, as shown by large surveys and increasing varieties of non dental causes of bacteremia.
