ABSTRACT
Certain species of bacteria are known to be associated with colorectal cancer. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the colon with bacteraemia and liver abscesses due to Streptococcus intermedius. The isolation of this organism should prompt investigation for colorectal neoplasm, which may be present but asymptomatic, without metastases, and therefore at a curative stage.
RESUMEN
Se sabe que ciertas especies de bacterias están asociadas con el cáncer colorectal. El presente trabajo reporta un caso de adenocarcinoma del colon acompañado de bacteriemia y abscesos hepáticos debidos a Streptococcus del grupo intermedius. El aislamiento de este organismo debe impulsar la investigación del neoplasma colorectal, el cual puede estar hallarse presente pero de forma asintomática, sin metástasis, y por consiguiente en una fase en que la cura es aún posible.
