STREPTOCOCCUS BOVIS ENDOCARDITIS ASSOCIATED WITH RECTAL CARCINOMA AND ITS NEUROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Infective Endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis may usually be associated with gastrointestinal pathologies, particularly colon cancer. S. bovis endocarditis may cause higher rates of neurological complications and more extensive valvular destruction compared to other microorganisms. This case report describes a patient with a recent history of rectal adenocarcinoma diagnosed as S. bovis endocarditis and complicated by intracranial and subarachnoidal hemorrhage after cardiac valve replacement. Because of high rates of neurological complications, these patients should be carefully followed up even after the medical and/or surgical treatment. Key Words: Endocarditis, bacterial, Streptococcus bovis rectal carcinoma, intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, valvular destruction

Keywords

• Endocarditis, bacterial, Streptococcus bovis rectal carcinoma, intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, valvular destruction
