Abstract

Streptococcus tigurinus is associated with infective endocarditis and meningitis. Due to its similarity to other species it has been underreported. We report the case of a 46 years old patient with 3 months of intermittent fever and asthenia and a blood culture positive for S. tigurinus.

Infective endocarditis Streptococcus mitis Streptococcus tigurinus kissing abscess.
