Streptococcus gallolyticus endocarditis, a silent sign for colonic cancer: Case report and literature review
We describe the case of a 81-year-old male patient with Cardiac device-related endocarditis caused by Streptococcus gallolyticus (Sgg) and colonic adenocarcinoma with fatal neurological complications. It is important to highlight the need for thorough colon examination, even in asymptomatic individuals, when diagnosing infective endocarditis caused by Sgg.
