We report a case of a 71-year-old male with a history of BPH who presented with flank pain, fever, chills, abdominal pain, and nausea.

He had a dental cleaning 1 month prior to admission and flosses daily.

Laboratory data revealed both urine and blood cultures to be positive for streptococcus sanguinis.

Computed tomography revealed a 10 mm right ureteral stone, and an ultrasound demonstrated moderate right hydronephrosis.

He underwent an ureteroscopy with stent placement.

A transesophageal echocardiogram was negative for endocarditis.

He completed 2 weeks of IV ceftriaxone and made a complete recovery.
