Abstract:
Infective endocarditis is a microbial affliction of the heart valves or endocardium. Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) may result from infection with low-virulence organisms such as Streptococcus viridans and Staphylococcus epidermidis, or partially treated infection. We report a case of SBE with neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations.
