In bacterial meningitis, the Viridans streptococci group is not considered a prevalent pathogen. In contrast, the S. viridans group may cause endocarditis and fatal infections in immunocompromised children and adults. We report a 5-year-old immunocompetent boy with signs of meningitis. The CSF tested positive for meningitis with streptococcus viridans.
