bacteremia. Computed tomography of the brain was unrevealing; however, scattered embolic phenomena were visualized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The case underscores the importance of clinical awareness, particularly in the setting of unusual microorganisms, and the role of brain MRI in the diagnosis of IE.
