| Abstract: | A 27-year-old woman is described with Rothia dentocariosa endocarditis, the fourth such case described in the literature. Her course was complicated by brain abscess, which was treated successfully with antibiotics. It is believed this represents the first case of R. dentocariosa with central nervous system involvement. |
