Key result
Severe cardiovascular complications of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteraemia, such as endocarditis and aortitis, can be successfully managed with timely recognition, prolonged antibiotic therapy, and surgical intervention.
Why the study?
Pneumococcal bacteraemia has risen, and related cardiovascular complications can run a fulminant course, remain unnoticed, or be misdiagnosed, delaying treatment.
Population
Three patients experiencing severe, including cardiovascular, complications of pneumococcal bacteraemia

Leau et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteraemia (n=3). Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteraemia was evaluated on Survival and clinical recovery. Severe cardiovascular complications of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteraemia, such as endocarditis and aortitis, can be successfully managed with timely recognition, prolonged antibiotic therapy, and surgical intervention.
