Circulating Pneumolysin Is a Potent Inducer of Cardiac Injury during Pneumococcal Infection.
Streptococcus pneumoniae accounts for more deaths worldwide than any other single pathogen through diverse disease manifestations including pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis. Life-threatening acute cardiac complications are more common in pneumococcal infection compared to other bacterial infections....
