Streptococcus MG-intermedius (S milleri) hepatic abscesses in two patients with regional enteritis.
Two patients with relatively quiescent regional enteritis had liver abscesses caused by S MG-intermedius. The occurrence of two such cases in a single hospital in the space of a few weeks, while possibly coincidental, suggests that infections with this organism, particularly hepatic abscesses, may be more common in patients with regional enteritis than previously realized.
