Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis 𝑓or
many patients with heart murmurs caused by valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse,
rheumatic heart disease) in an e𝑓𝑓ort to prevent in𝑓ective endocarditis; however, current
guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis o𝑓 accumulated scienti𝑓ic evidence. I𝑓 a

ANSWER: B
Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling,
wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as
