Do valvular lesions also occur in nonfatal brucellosis? We have sought an answer to this question by reviewing the literature on nonfatal brucellosis, and by studying patients in whom heart disease and brucellosis have been associated.HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF CARDIAC INVOLVEMENT IN NONFATAL BRUCELLOSISEarly writers had much to say about involvement of the cardiovascular system in brucellosis.
