✦ Synopsis

Over the past 15 years Streptococcus bovis, a Lancefield group D non-enterococcal organism, has become increasingly recognized as a common cause of endocarditis, accounting for 14 per cent of cases of microbial endocarditis'. Moreover, a strong association between S. bouis bacteraemia and underlying gastrointestinal neoplasm has become evident'. To emphasize this association, which has received little attention in the surgical literature, we report a series of six patients with S. bouis septicaemia of whom five were subsequently found to have underlying colonic carcinoma, three of whom had no gastrointestinal symptoms at the time of presentation with septicaemia.
