  The 28-year-old man visited the authors' hospital due to ciliary injection and hypopyon over left eye. On examination, Behcet-mimicking symptoms were observed, such as genital and oral ulcers and arthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Conjunctival Pallor

  Examination revealed conjunctival pallor, dental caries, track marks on the dorsal right hand, and bilateral lower extremity pitting edema. Her extremities demonstrated palpable purpura. [cureus.com]

In the face of penicillin resistance, additional considerations for workup, including microbiological assays for antimicrobial synergism become necessary in the selection of a therapeutic regimen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Often, the workup for infectious cause returns fruitless and the patient’s clinical course may be the sole clue in making the diagnosis. Here, we present a rare case of hookah-induced Streptococcus viridanspneumonia. [aspergillus.org.uk]

The patient was then transferred to the Children’s Hospital for concern and workup of a septic joint. [omicsonline.org]

Because of the frequent association of abscess formation, a routine workup in Anginosus group bacteremia should include a search for abscess. In Vitro Susceptibility VGS are presumed to be uniformly susceptible to penicillin. [antimicrobe.org]

• Cavitary Lesion

  Follow-up chest x-ray after 3 weeks confirmed resolving cavitary lesions. [aspergillus.org.uk]

• Poor R Wave Progression

  Electrocardiogram (EKG) showed normal sinus rhythm, poor R-wave progression in anterolateral leads, and deep Q waves in V1 and V2. [cureus.com]

• HLA-B27

  A 26-year-old male patient with mitral valve prolapse and HLA-B27 antigen received endodontic treatment for dental caries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Complete resolution of ocular and systemic symptoms was achieved after 2 months of treatment. Streptococcus viridans is potential microorganisms of ReA. Careful survey and prompt treatment is necessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Complete resolution of ocular and systemic symptoms was achieved after 2 months of treatment. Conclusions: Streptococcus viridans is potential microorganisms of ReA. Careful survey and prompt treatment is necessary. [tmu.pure.elsevier.com]

There were no treatment failures. [jamanetwork.com]

Treatment The treatment regimens for suspected or confirmed PJI can vary depending on severity and symptom duration. The gold standard for PJI treatment is two-stage resection arthroplasty with subsequent reimplantation (14,24,26,41,42). [aoj.amegroups.com]

Although advances in antibiotic therapy and surgical techniques have improved the prognosis of endocarditis, 1 the mortality rate in recent decades has held steady at 15% to 50%. 2-11 Improving this prognosis will require identifying patients at higher [revespcardiol.org]

Therefore, early diagnosis and initiation of adequate antibiotic therapy is important for improving the long-term prognosis of patients suffering from this rare disease. [ekjm.org]

The organisms are most abundant in the mouth, and one member of the group, S. mutans, is the etiologic agent of dental caries. This group of bacteria is often implicated in subacute endocarditis associated with dental procedures. [osmosis.org]

Streptococcus viridans is also an important etiologic agent causing septicaemia in neutropenic patients with haematological diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The title is unfortunate, since it implies that infections produced by the usual etiologic agent in cases of subacute bacterial endocarditis can be controlled by sulfapyridine. [jamanetwork.com]

It may corroborate a pivotal role of the circulatory failure in the pathophysiology of S. pyogenes-PF. [ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com]

Recent interest in the pathophysiology of this disorder has focused on the role of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins (SPEs), extracellular products of group A streptococci that mediate not only scarlatiniform-like rashes but also multi-organ damage and [antimicrobe.org]

It is therefore recommended that the preferable antibiotic used for the prevention of BE should be determined by an antibiogram. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore the diagnosis and prevention of these infections is critical in health care. Purpose: The aim of this in-vivo study was to determine the prevalence of viridans streptococci in abscesses occurring in the maxillofacial region. [jdt.tums.ac.ir]
