Presentation
In the present communication a patient is described who presented with Streptococcus sanguis bacteremia and was subsequently found to suffer from an adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Asymptomatic
Although the patient was asymptomatic for dental caries, odontogenic maxillary sinusitis was found to be the cause of the meningitis. Treatment with intravenous antibiotics was successful. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Fever of Unknown Origin
Patient was admitted to Our Hospital presented as fever of unknown origin, losing more than 30 kg of body weight during couple of months, and anemia of chronic disease as paraneoplastic process. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric

Aspiration
We describe a primary iliopsoas abscess by Streptococcus sanguis affecting an 81-year-old man cured by antibiotic therapy and aspiration procedure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
-
Abdominal Pain
A 26-year-old man with known but untreated ventricular septal defect was admitted to the emergency ward with abdominal pain, fever and weight loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Background A 26-year-old man with known but untreated ventricular septal defect was admitted to the emergency ward with abdominal pain, fever and weight loss. [nature.com]

Acute Abdomen
The objective is to enhance the suspicion index about the iliopsoas abscess that may be mistaken for other causes of acute abdomen. The important diagnostic role of abdominal imaging studies is also emphasised. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recurrent Oral Ulceration
Whereas significant anti-65-kDa heat shock protein and anti-S. sanguis ST3 antibodies were also found in sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and recurrent oral ulcers, the anti-S. sanguis KTH-1, KTH-2, and KTH-3 antibodies were confined to BS [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Musculoskeletal
-
Arthritis
Septic arthritis may represent a direct invasion of joint space by various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Therefore, the authors report a case of the septic arthritis in the knee joint caused by S. sanguis in a patient with osteoarthritis of the knee, who has the history of periodontitis. [synapse.koreamed.org]
Skin
-
Photosensitivity
CONCLUSION: The development of a system for the lethal photosensitization of bacteria responsible for periodontal disease may be possible. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Headache
Her headaches and myalgias resolved. She became afebrile within 4 hours after linezolid was given and remained so for the remainder of her hospital course. [journals.lww.com]
Workup
This case contributes to a growing body of literature contending that unexplained streptococcal bacteraemia merits a thorough workup that may include relatively invasive procedures such as endoscopy. [casereports.bmj.com]

Treatment
These platelet aggregation-associated proteins (PAAPs) are recovered in cell-free preparations obtained from cells of S. sanguis after 5 min of sonic or limited trypsin treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Time to positivity of blood cultures (TTP) has relationship with bacterial blood concentration and could be related with prognosis. As there is scarce information about the... [connection.ebscohost.com]
Gastrointestinal lesions may be found at an earlier stage, potentially improving prognosis. Case presentation A 56-year-old man was admitted with a 1 week history of fevers, anorexia and night sweats in May 2006. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
In this study, the postantibiotic effect (PAE), postantibiotic sub-MIC (PASME) and sub-MIC effect (SME) of amoxicillin on oral streptococci, Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguis, which are two of the major etiological agents in infective endocarditis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
The computational methods scan the database to perform in silico prediction of chromosomal regions related to phenotypic and pathophysiological traits. [slideheaven.com]
Prevention
However, S. sanguis did not induce von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding to platelets; nor did the bacteria prevent ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination or vWF binding. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An additional objective was to identify an inexpensive, simple, and effective method of preventing and controlling dental caries. [ijdr.in]
