A liver abscess may occur secondary to an umbilical vein catheterization or infection in other parts of the body, and is associated with immune deficiencies, especially chronic granulomatous disease. There are no specific signs and symptoms, but an unexplained fever with upper abdominal tenderness and an enlarged liver were present in all of our cases.

Clinical suspicion of a liver abscess mandates an investigation of the liver for evidence of a liver abscess by radionuclide, ultrasound, or CT scan. Amebic abscesses have a lower mortality rate than pyogenic abscesses. Amebic and pyogenic abscesses can be distinguished on the basis of epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory studies.

A current assessment of liver abscesses should allow for better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment. Amebic liver abscess occurs more commonly than pyogenic liver abscess on a worldwide basis. However, in the United States, pyogenic liver abscess predominates.

Amebic liver abscess was seen in 35 patients over a ten-year period at Cook County and the University of Illinois hospitals, Chicago; 32 had immigrated from an area of endemic amebiasis, but three were natives of Chicago. Typically they had right upper-quadrant abdominal pain and fever of short duration (nine days); on physical examination, upper ...

AbstractExperience with 34 patients with pyogenic liver abscess is reviewed to evaluate the impact of percutaneous drainage and duration of antibiotic therapy on results of treatment. Patients with shock, adult respiratory distress syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, jaundice, severe hypoalbuminemia, and diabetes had a poor prognosis ...

The percutaneous approach-specifically, ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage-associated with intravenous administration of antibiotics is the therapy of choice in patients with single or multiple pyogenic liver abscesses. The initial empiric antibiotic therapy should be modified based on results of blood and pus cultures.
