Other organisms are less regularly present and Streptococcus viridans enters the blood stream from this focus much more frequently than all others combined. [jamanetwork.com]

  Case Report A 4-year-old boy presented with intermittent fever and productive cough for 2 weeks. He was given medications to alleviate the symptoms; however, high fever and shortness of breath were noted 4 days later. [indianpediatrics.net]

• Ciliary Injection

  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]

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]

• 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]

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]

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]

Minor infections may not require treatment or may be treated with antibiotics. Invasive infections usually result in a hospital stay. Severe invasive infections may require intensive treatment with intravenous antibiotics for 7-10 days. [yourgenome.org]

Nonetheless its prognosis is better, a feature which may be related to the fact that the systemic infectious syndrome can be treated more effectively. [pesquisa.bvsalud.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]

The administration of AP for a dental procedure, if effective, is intended only for the prevention of IE caused by VGS, not for prevention of IE caused by other microorganisms. [ahajournals.org]

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]
