Colorectal Cancer Associated with Streptococcus anginosus Bacteremia and Liver Abscesses
Streptococcus anginosus is part of the normal flora of the human gastrointestinal tract. Their ability to cause abscesses is very unique and sets them apart from the rest of the streptococci groups. While an association of group D streptococcus bacteremia and endocarditis with colorectal carcinoma is well established, S. anginosus infections are rarely implicated with colonic malignancy.

متن کاملSmall bowel splenule mimicking a gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
A 23 year old Hispanic female with no medical history was evaluated as a potential living related renal transplant donor. CT of the abdomen showed a 1.0 x 1.2 x 1.1 cm nodule that appeared to be exophytic from the wall of a small bowel loop (Figs. 1, 2, white arrows). The nodule was enhancing with enhancement characteristics separate from the spleen and was suggestive for a neuroendocrine tumor...

متن کاملA fatal case with multiple liver and splenic abscesses due to Streptococcus anginosus bacteremia in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis
A common etiology of diabetic ketoacidosis is severe infection [1], and hyperglycemia has been reported to be a possible risk factor for developing a liver abscess [2]. Streptococcus anginosus is a subgroup of streptococcus viridians, which commonly exists in normal oral and gastrointestinal flora. Streptococcus anginosus differs from other bacterial subgroups as Streptococcus anginosus may cau...
