Sepsis with Enterococcus and Klebsiella in a patient with recent invasive dental procedures, endocarditis and subsequent intestinal abscess

Background Fever is one of the most suggestive symptoms for infectious disease pathology, although it is neither specific nor sensitive. Reoccurrence of fever during the course of hospital admission generally suggests that the diagnosed infection might not be controlled and that medical management should be revised. However, other concurrent illnesses can also be responsible for fever; for this reason, a complete interdisciplinary medical investigation should be performed.
