Abstract

There is a well-established association between Streptococcus bovis bacteremia (SBB) and colorectal cancer. However, SBB is also frequently associated with chronic liver disease and has been described with other gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal disease in patients with SBB. Retrospective analysis of the microbiology database at Jackson Memorial Medical Center, Miami, Florida, between 1992 and 2002, was performed. Patients' clinical records were reviewed, with special focus on underlying gastrointestinal disease or other major comorbidities. Thirty-eight patients (83%) were adults and eight (17%) were pediatric patients. Nineteen patients presented with gastrointestinal disorders associated with SBB (41%). Nine adult patients (19%) had end-stage liver disease (five female). Six patients had alcohol-induced liver disease (one with concomitant chronic hepatitis C), with the remaining three cases related to autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Colonic neoplasms (adenocarcinoma in 3 and adenomatous polyps in 3) were found in 6 of 10 adult patients in whom colonoscopic evaluation was performed. Seven adult patients had acq...Continue Reading
