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

Abstract

Streptococcus intermedius is a commensal bacterium reported in a few cases as the causative agent of brain and lung abscesses, pneumonia, and endocarditis. Lung abscesses due to Streptococcus intermedius are rare, especially in pregnancy. We describe the first case of lung abscess due to Streptococcus intermedius in a pregnant woman.
