We describe the first patient with simultaneous S bovis septicemia and meningitis associated with chronic radiation enterocolitis. This case underlines the value of a thorough gastrointestinal evaluation of all patients with S bovis infection, and the need for a neurologic investigation even with minor neurologic manifestations.

Article Synopsis
- A 70-year-old patient with a history of bladder cancer treated with BCG developed symptoms like fever, fatigue, and a painful back lesion initially thought to be herpes zoster.
- Despite antiviral treatment and antibiotics, his condition worsened, leading to further imaging and biopsies that revealed non-caseating granulomas and confirmed disseminated BCG-itis.
- Treatment with a combination of antibiotics and corticosteroids ultimately resolved the skin lesions and improved the patient's health, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis in similar cases.

The lessons learned from reviewing national risk assessments to modernise the Australian Standard for the post-mortem inspection and disposition judgement of beef, sheep, goat, and pig carcases are discussed. The initial risk profiles identified priorities for quantitative assessments. Broadly, the main difficulty encountered was the paucity of quantified performance for the current inspection.

Bladder cancer is the second most common genitourinary (GU) malignancy worldwide. Treatment involves early cystectomy and intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), which is effective for T1 high-grade tumors and carcinoma in situ (CIS) but can cause significant side effects, including chemical and bacterial cystitis, hematuria, incontinence, pneumonitis, malaise, fever, and sepsis. We present the case of a 47-year-old male with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC, G3 pTa) treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) who developed a fever and non-productive cough after BCG injections.

Background: Streptococcus gallolyticus subspecies pasteurianus (SGP), a subtype of Streptococcus bovis , is an uncommon but important cause of neonatal sepsis. Although uncommon, SGP infections during infancy have been associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.
Methods: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of available literature on the clinical course and outcomes of infants with SGP infection.
