Abstract
A 68 year old diabetic man developed septicaemia and multiple liver abscesses due to Streptococcus intermedius. Liver biopsy revealed streptococcal botryomycosis which showed the Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon. Diabetes mellitus is an example of the immunosuppressed states that have been associated with botryomycosis.
