- Fever
This case indicated that EGM could also occur in neonate and fever could be the only obvious manifestation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Common symptoms include episodic low-grade fever and chills, headache and body aches, night sweats and fatigue. [livestrong.com]
The patient had received two months of antibiotic therapy without a decrease in fever symptoms. His physical examination revealed that his fever was 38 °C and a 3/6 intensity diastolic aortic murmur was heard in cardiac auscultation. [tgkdc.dergisi.org]
- Chills
The patient developed fever with chills on the second postoperative day. The blood cultures of the patient showed growth of Enterococcus faecium for which he was given vancomycin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Common symptoms include episodic low-grade fever and chills, headache and body aches, night sweats and fatigue. [livestrong.com]
If you get sick from VRE, you might have these symptoms: fever general sick feeling fast heart rate redness, swelling, or pain in your body chills Most VRE infections happen in people who are in the hospital. [healthline.com]
Workup
Investigations Laboratory workup revealed a normal leucocyte count (5.1 × 10−9/l), anaemia (haemoglobin 7.9 g/dl) and thrombocytopaenia (platelets 43 000/μl). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

DOI: 10.1128/CMR.00058-18 SUMMARY The genus Enterococcus comprises a ubiquitous group of Gram-positive bacteria that are of great relevance to human health for their role as major causative agents of health care-associated infections. [cmr.asm.org]
It is a gram positive bacteria, which means that it has a rigid outer cell wall (gram positive means that it is stained by gram staining, which only happens if the bacteria has this rigid wall). [sciencing.com]

Gram-positive coccus (similar to streptococci) Part of the normal flora of the gut Intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics Usually a low grade pathogen causing opportunistic infections Main clinical infections: UTI Intra-abdominal sepsis (usually [gloshospitals.nhs.uk]
The most accurate way to presumptively identify a catalase-negative gram positive coccus as an Enterococcus sp. is to demonstrate that the unknown is PYR (an abbreviation for L-pyrrolidonyl-β-naphthylamide) and LAP (leucine-beta-naththylamide) positive [astro.temple.edu]
