Group G Streptococcal Endocarditis Associated with Bilateral Endogenous Endophthalmitis / 감염과화학요법

ABSTRACT

The group G streptococcal endocarditis is a rare form of infective endocarditis when present, and it is associated with serious neurological complications. Also, endogenous endophthalmitis due to group G streptococcal endocarditis has rarely been reported, and usually leads to total loss of vision. We report a case of group G streptococcal endocarditis which presented clinically as endophthalmitis unrelated to trauma or surgery in a 85-year-old diabetic man.
