Abstract
|
|
|
|
Identified first by Lancefield and Hare in 1935, the group G streptococcus occurs as commensals in the skin, pharynx, intestine, and vagina. It has been reported to cause a variety of human infections, such as sepsis, end ocarditis, peritonitis, pharyngitis, and infective arthritis. Group G streptococcus sepsis could occur in chronic states such as malignancy, diabetes, alcoholics, neurologic disease, cardiovarscular disease, and end stage renal disease, however, there has been only a few case reports of endogenous endopthalmitis caused by group G streptococcus. We report herein endogenous endopthalmitis caused by group G streptococcus sepsis in 64-year-old man of alcoholic.
