“…Streptococcus equinus is a group D streptococcus, which is gram-positive, non-hemolytic, non-Enterococcus, bile-esculin positive, non-lactose fermenting, and non-mannitol fermenting microorganism. It is found predominantly in the alimentary tract of horses [4][5]. It has also been found in the alimentary tract of cows, humans, and food sources [5][6][7].…”

Infective endocarditis (IE) can be caused by bacterial or fungal infections invading the endocardial surface of the heart, such as its valves and chambers. Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species are mainly responsible for IE. Streptococcus equinus ( S. equinus ) has been rarely noted to cause IE. We present a case of a 69-year-old white male with a past medical history of severe aortic regurgitation, who during an elective aortic heart valve replacement surgery was noted to have multiple plaque-like vegetations at the base of the mitral valve that were positive for S. equinus . To date, there are only four cases of S. equinus endocarditis reported worldwide, with a high possibility of our case being the first reported in North America.

Infective endocarditis and other chronic infections may cause diagnostic difficulties, regardless of age. The likelihood of an atypical presentation of chronic infection probably increases with age. Serum CRP may be a useful guide to the presence of underlying infection and its resolution in older people. The term CUO (CRP elevation of unknown origin) may have a place in triggering further investigation for the presence of infection or other pathology.
