experience; Immunology; Infectious Diseases; Microbiology
A 65-year-old man had a 3-day history of sore throat, fever, rigors, back pain, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The patient's daughter had group A streptococcus pharyngitis. The patient was found to have a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. He underwent resection of the aneurysm and right axillary femoro-femoral bypass graft. The patient died 40 hours after admission. Gram stain of the aneurysm showed numerous gram-positive cocci. Group A streptococcus grew from cultures of blood, throat, and aneurysm. The group A streptococcus was M type 3, T type 3 and produced streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A. This case is a very rare fatal complication of group A streptococcus pharyngitis.

Clostridial endocarditis is rare. We describe, to our knowledge, the first case of Clostridium innocuum endocarditis. The fatal case involved the tricuspid and pulmonary valves and was associated with multiple pulmonary emboli. We review the literature, which suggests the varied presentations and outcomes of clostridial endocarditis. Penicillin is the treatment of choice for this disease.
