Coming soonStreptococcal endocarditis is an infective endovascular condition characterized by bacterial infection of the heart's endocardium, most frequently colonizing native or prosthetic heart valves.
It is predominantly caused by viridans group streptococci, *Streptococcus gallolyticus*, or other streptococcal species that enter the bloodstream and adhere to pre-existing endothelial lesions or platelet-fibrin thrombi.
Pathophysiologically, the bacteria proliferate within protected vegetations, prompting local valvular destruction, regurgitation, and intracardiac abscesses, as well as systemic complications such as embolic phenomena and immune-mediated vasculitis.
Patients typically present with a subacute or acute clinical course featuring fever, fatigue, new or changing cardiac murmurs, and potentially life-threatening congestive heart failure.
