  • Title: Fatal cardiac tamponade in a young man with group C streptococcal endocarditis.
    Author: Raizes EG, Livingston MB, Farrar WE.
    Journal: Am J Med Sci; 1987 Nov; 294(5):353-6. PubMed ID: 3425584.
    Abstract:
    The case of a previously healthy man with endocarditis due to the group C streptococcus, complicated by myocardial abscess and fatal cardiac tamponade, is presented. Group C streptococcus is an unusual cause of endocarditis which tends to produce extensive valve destruction. Early surgery should be considered in patients with endocarditis caused by this organism.
