[Endophthalmitis and multiple brain abscess in a patient with endocarditis due to Streptococcus agalactiae].
Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare disease caused by hematogenic germ spread from an internal focus. Infections due to Streptococcus agalactiae are infrequent in adults although new cases had been described recently associated to inmunodepression. We present a patient with endocarditis due to Streptococcus agalactiae, endophthalmitis and multiple brain abscess. We also review the literature.
