RESUMO
Group C streptococcus is found in many domestic animals and rarely causes infection in human beings. Severe infections caused by these bacteria are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. We present a case of group C streptococcus endocarditis with sequelae, right-eye endophthalmitis, and multilobar pneumonia caused by septic embolization from the infected mitral valve.

Empyema necessitans is a rare complication of pleural space infections and occurs when the infected fluid dissects spontaneously into the chest wall from the pleural space. This process may result from bronchopleural extension of a peripheral lung infection. These cases result from inadequate treatment of an empyema and usually occur after a necrotizing pneumonia or pulmonary abscess. We present two cases of empyema thoracic necessitans.
