ABSTRACT
Streptococcus pneumoniae has been a rare cause of endocarditis in the postantibiotic era. The incidence of pneumococcal endocarditis now accounts for less than 3% of all cases and most often occur in patients with risk factors, especially alcoholism. We report the case of a 68-year-old male with acute infective endocarditis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae. We stressed the low frequency of this agent as a cause of endocarditis and the atypical evolution of this case.
