ABSTRACT
We present a case of a young man with symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG) resulting from Streptococcus viridans-related infective endocarditis, an association which has not previously been reported. SPG is associated with up to 40% mortality and may necessitate amputation; early identification and treatment of the precipitating factors is very important.
