  • Title: Streptococcus milleri infection and pericardial abscess associated with esophageal carcinoma: report of two cases.
    Author: Muto M, Ohtsu A, Boku N, Tajiri H, Yoshida S.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1999; 46(27):1782-4. PubMed ID: 10430344.
    Abstract:
    We report 2 cases of esophageal carcinoma with esophago-mediastinal fistula that developed pericardial abscess due to Streptococcus intermedius infection. Streptococcus intermedius, a generally harmless commensals in healthy humans, is not usually associated with infections of the oral cavity but may account for non-oral purulent infections. This report, however, highlights that Streptococcus intermedius infection can be life-threatening for some patients such as those with esophageal carcinoma with fistula.
