Abstract
Austrian syndrome consists of a triad of endocarditis, meningitis, and pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. With the arrival of many antibiotic therapies, the disease remains rare, however, it can be overlooked due to the lack of awareness. We present a case of Austrian syndrome in an immunocompromised patient complicated by multiorgan failure.
