Rothia dentocariosa is a rare cause of endocarditis. It occurs most frequently in patients with prior heart conditions. Although the clinical course is typically subacute, it has a high rate of complications. In particular, the reported incidence of mycotic aneurysms is as high as 25%. Penicillin is the treatment of choice, but additional complications may necessitate prompt surgical intervention. As far as we know, this paper reports the first case of repeated subarachnoid hemorrhages due to R. dentocariosa endocarditis.

“…In another patient on peritoneal dialysis, RD caused intraabdominal infection (15). Nevertheless, the most frequently reported infection associated with RD is endocarditis (1–4). In our patient, no clinical or echocardiographic signs of endocarditis could be found and endocarditis was also excluded on post mortem.…”

“…Since the mid‐1970s there have been a number of reports on serious infections with RD. More than 30 case reports can be found in the literature; most describe patients with endocarditis (1–4). Even though the clinical course is mostly subacute, it is associated with a high rate of complications.…”
