Streptococcus intermedius liver abscesses and colon cancer: a case report

J J Millichap et al. West Indian Med J. 2005 Oct.

Abstract

Certain species of bacteria are known to be associated with colorectal cancer. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the colon with bacteraemia and liver abscesses due to Streptococcus intermedius. The isolation of this organism should prompt investigation for colorectal neoplasm, which may be present but asymptomatic, without metastases, and therefore at a curative stage.
