[ 1 ] - A Case of Pneumococcal Endocarditis Following a Nose Trauma
Pneumococcal endocarditis is an uncommon disease. Here, we describe a case of endocarditis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in a young man following a nose trauma. In traumas that involve the respiratory system and the mucous membrane, bacterial complications such as colonization and bacteremia and end-organ involvement should be considered by physicians.
