Abstract
A 20-year-old female with history of polysubstance abuse presented with fevers and lightheadness. Blood cultures grew out Streptococcus constellatus, which is known to form purulent infections when introduced in the body. Evaluation with transesophageal echocardiogram showed a definite large, irregular, loosely organized, highly mobile vegetation.
