Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis.

Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) is a rare cause of infective endocarditis, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Endocarditis in adults is generally related to immunocompromised states. We hereby report the case of a 35 year old man who presented with fever and delirium in whom aortic valve endocarditis due to S. agalactiae was detected. Though most patients with S. agalactiae endocarditis need surgical intervention along with antibiotics, our patient improved with medical therapy alone.
