Most of the physicians are well aware of this correlation and further workup is pursued in most of the cases. However, many physicians may not be aware that other species of<jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>viridians, other than<jats:italic>S. bovis<\/jats:italic>, can be associated with colonic malignancies. In this case report, we present a case of<jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>viridians (anginosus) bacteraemia as a complication of an undiagnosed sigmoid adenocarcinoma. While further evidence is needed to warrant a gastrointestinal (GI) workup in a patient with other species of<jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>viridians bacteraemia, we would like to increase the awareness in the physicians\u2019 community regarding<jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>viridians, other than<jats:italic>S. bovis<\/jats:italic>bacteraemia. This would be especially relevant for patients who have no GI screening, as<jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>viridians bacteraemia can be an early sign of colonic neoplasm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2014-203695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,29]],"date-time":"2014-05-29T09:18:50Z","timestamp":1401355130000},"page":"bcr2014203695","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["<i>Streptococcus<\/i>viridians bacteraemia and colonic adenocarcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2014","author":[{"given":"Avenir","family":"Mulita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tokunbo","family":"Ajayi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.1","first-page":"162","article-title":"Enterococcal endocarditis associated with carcinoma of the sigmoid; report of a case","volume":"21","author":"McCOY","year":"1951","journal-title":"J Med Assoc State Ala"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cis434"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.139.7.760"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10620-006-3199-7"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/carcin\/bgh091"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/carcin\/21.4.753"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1055-9965.EPI-08-0571"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8191.2007.00528.x"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.9","first-page":"206","article-title":"Liver abscesses caused by Streptococcus milleri: an uncommon presenting sign of silent colonic cancer","volume":"5","author":"Tzur","year":"2003","journal-title":"Isr Med Assoc J"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.10","first-page":"1541","article-title":"Streptococcus sanguis bacteremia associated with cecal carcinoma: case report and review of the literature","volume":"92","author":"Marinella","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.11","first-page":"1528","article-title":"Carcinoma of the colon presenting as Streptococcus sanguis bacteremia","volume":"90","author":"Siegert","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007611-199802000-00016"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.13","first-page":"1343","article-title":"Adenocarcinoma of the colon presenting as Streptococcus sanguis bacteremia","volume":"90","author":"Fass","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mpo.2950240116"},{"key":"2025042705291725000_2014.may29_1.bcr2014203695.15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007611-199108000-00031"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2014-203695","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,27]],"date-time":"2025-04-27T12:29:23Z","timestamp":1745756963000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2014-203695"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,29]]},"references-count":15,"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2014-203695"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2014-203695","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1757-790X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,29]]}}}
