Multiple lung abscesses secondary to a uterine empyema caused by an intrauterine device

Lung abscess due to Streptococcus intermedius associated with SARS CoV‐2 infection in pregnancy: Unusual presentation and complication of a commensal bacteria during pregnancy

“…Besides, other rare infections in body sites due to S. intermedius have been described, such as a recently described case in which discitis was reported due to contiguous infection due to a lung abscess of the posterior right lower lobe due to S. intermedius 15 . It has also been described as a causative pathogen in Lemierre syndrome in a 21‐year‐old man with S. intermedius bacteremia 16 and in a 29‐year‐old woman who developed multiple lung abscesses secondary to a uterine empyema caused by an intrauterine device with the S. milleri group as the causative agent isolated 17 . Furthermore, isolated pulmonary nodules and infective endocarditis due to S. intermedius have also been described 4,18,19 .…”

Streptococcus intermedius Brain Abscess with Lung Abscess and Aortic Valve Endocarditis: A Case Report and Literature Review

“…We reviewed the available medical literature by PubMed with the keywords “ Streptococcus intermedius ” AND “lung abscess”, “pleural effusion” and “pleural empyema” from 1993 to 2023, published in English. We found 34 articles meeting the inclusion criteria ( Table 2 ), of which 4 described concomitant brain and lung abscesses, but none reported the presence of lung and brain abscesses due to S. intermedius associated with left sided endocarditis [ 1 , 2 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Only one paper [ 8 ] described the case of a lung and brain abscess associated with Chiari network endocarditis in the right heart.…”
