    Author: Genta PR, Carneiro L, Genta EN.
    Journal: South Med J; 1998 Dec; 91(12):1167-8. PubMed ID: 9853733.
    Abstract:
    Streptococcus bovis bacteremia is known to be related to neoplastic lesions of the colon. We describe a patient with several complications of S bovis bacteremia and adenocarcinoma of the colon--endocarditis, spondylodiskitis, and splenic abscess. We believe this is the eighth known case of endocarditis and diskitis caused by S bovis and the third case of endocarditis and splenic abscess by S bovis in a patient with adenocarcinoma of the colon.
