According to a report published in New England Journal of Medicine, the man went to the emergency room six weeks after the dental examination, complaining of abdominal pain and a "pulsating, painful tumor on the right side."

The man told the doctors that a few weeks after his visit to the dentist, he began to fever, his appetite decreased, he began to lose weight and sweat a lot at night. In addition, a new growth appeared on his right hand. Within two weeks, the neoplasm turned blue, it began to ache and pulsate.

Medical tests found traces in his blood. streptococcus salivarius - bacteria that are commonly found in the mouth. Doctors speculate that due to "poor oral hygiene", some of these bacteria entered the person's bloodstream during a visit to the dentist and traveled to the heart.

Doctors added that the neoplasm on the male hand is probably an aneurysm or an enlarged blood vessel.

As a result, the man underwent surgery to replace the aortic valve of the heart and surgery to remove the aneurysm on the arm. He underwent a 16-week course of ceftriaxone antibiotic treatment.

Two days after the start of antibiotics, the man’s condition improved.
