Abstract:
Three rare case reports of HIV-related Streptococcus bovis bacteremia are described, and discussed on the basis of a literature review. The association with an advanced immunodeficiency, leukopenia-neutropenia, and liver cirrhosis is underlined as well as the possibility of multiple recurrences and the lack of apparent gastrointestinal lesions as risk factors.
