Abstract
The case of a previously healthy man with endocarditis due to the group C streptococcus, complicated by myocardial abscess and fatal cardiac tamponade, is presented. Group C streptococcus is an unusual cause of endocarditis which tends to produce extensive valve destruction. Early surgery should be considered in patients with endocarditis caused by this organism.Entities:
