| Abstract: | Streptococcus bovis bacteremia has been linked to the presence of occult colon cancer since 1977. We present a case of pyogenic liver abscess and bacteremia with a different Streptococcus viridans 1 week after colonic adenocarcinoma was removed via polypectomy, discuss the likely etiology and review whether there is evidence to support looking for colon cancer in patients who present similarly but have not already undergone screening. |
