Although infection in humans is rare, the course can be fulminant. We describe the case of a 75-year-old immunocompetent male who developed disseminated disease with bacteremia, native aortic valve endocarditis, suppurative pericarditis with cardiac tamponade, meningitis, and bilateral endophthalmitis.

Of interest, previous studies have suggested an affinity of this organism for certain organ systems and this case corroborates an emerging association of S. equi subsp zooepidemicus with endophthalmitis. In addition, this is the second Canadian case of documented human infection, with both cases being similar in clinical features, presentation, and geographical location. This case report should serve to warn clinicians about complications and sites of haematogenous seeding in the setting of disseminated S. equi subsp zooepidemicus infections. </jats:p> An Atlantic Canada case of disseminated <i>Streptococcus equi</i> subspecies <i>zooepidemicus</i> infection Official Journal of the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada |
