ABSTRACT
Streptococcus intermedius caused a liver abscess in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). In contrast to typical staphylococcal abscesses in CGD, this abscess was liquid, easily drained, and resolved without surgery or steroids. This case and literature review provide insight into this organism's pathogenesis, including in CGD.
