Overview

Austrian triad is a rare clinical triad of disseminated pneumococcal pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis all caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is associated with alcoholism, due to the presence of hyposplenism (reduced splenic functioning), and can be seen in males between 40 and 60 years old.[1]

Historical Perspective

Austrian triad or syndrome is a medical condition initially identified and first described by Robert Austrian in 1957. He noted a high mortality rate associated with the condition despite aggressive treatment with intravenous antibiotics.

Risk factors

Common risk factors are alcoholism and IV drug use.
