It is associated with poor visual prognosis and its commonest endogenous aetiology is infective endocarditis. The causative organisms of endogenous endophthalmitis complicating endocarditis are mainly Group A or B streptococci. The identification of Group C and G streptococci such as Streptococcus dysgalactiae is comparatively uncommon and has only been reported in a few case reports or series. We therefore report a case of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae first presenting with endogenous endophthalmitis, the most likely source being bilateral feet osteomyelitis in a patient with type I diabetes. The patient was treated with a course of intravenous benzylpenicillin, intravitreal antibiotics, bilateral below knee amputations and mitral valve replacement. She survived all surgical procedures and regained partial visual acuity in the affected eye.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/idr.2012.e16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,22]],"date-time":"2012-02-22T16:54:08Z","timestamp":1329929648000},"page":"e16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Streptococcus dysgalactiae Endocarditis Presenting as Acute Endophthalmitis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Angelina Su-Min","family":"Yong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Su Yin","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsung Han","family":"Woo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jordan Yuanzhi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tuck Yean","family":"Yong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"832","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(13)31255-X","article-title":"Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis.
