Abstract
AbstractStreptococcus intermedius is a beta‐hemolytic, non‐motile, catalase‐negative, gram‐positive member of the Streptococcus anginosus group. When compared to other members of this group like S. anginosus and Streptococcus constellatus, S. intermedius infections are more substantial. In this case, we present a 47‐year‐old male patient who was found to have S. intermedius abscesses in his lungs, liver, and brain. The treatment of choice for these abscesses is a combination of drainage, surgery, and antibiotic therapy.
