Abstract EN
Infective endocarditis is a rare but life-threatening disease seen across the globe.
Organisms from the oral cavity still represent a large proportion of pathogens seen in endocarditis and can be from either daily dental routines or invasive procedures.
With the recent changes to antibiotic prophylaxis for infective endocarditis prior to dental procedures, the physician must have a heightened degree of suspicion when presented with a patient with undifferenced sepsis following dental procedures.
The authors present a case of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus gordonii after the drainage of a dental abscess.
