Abstract
We report a case of Streptococcus sanguis endocarditis in a 45-year-old male who presented with bilateral endophthalmitis and glomerulonephritis. The patient responded favorably to appropriate antimicrobial chemotherapy with resolution of endophthalmitis and nephritis. Some striking features of this case and a comparison with other reported cases of this uncommon presentation of infective endocarditis are discussed.
