  • Title: Splenic abscess associated with Streptococcus bovis septicemia and neoplastic lesions of the colon.
    Author: Belinkie SA, Narayanan NC, Russell JC, Becker DR.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1983 Dec; 26(12):823-4. PubMed ID: 6641468.
    Abstract:
    Streptococcus bovis bacteremia is known to be associated with gastrointestinal disease, especially colon lesions. Two patients are presented with a previously unreported syndrome: S. bovis bacteremia, endocarditis, colon neoplasms, and splenic abscess. In one case, the colonic lesion was occult and required colonoscopy for identification (normal barium enema). S. bovis bacteremia is an important marker for occult gastrointestinal neoplasia.
