INTRODUCTION: Pyogenic liver abscess is a noteworthy health concern in North America, characterized by a mortality rate ranging from 2 to 12%. This condition is often polymicrobial, with Streptococcus species and Escherichia coli as the predominant causal pathogens in Western countries. Fusobacterium species, typically commensals of gastrointestinal, genital, and oral flora, have been implicated in the rare formation of tonsillar abscesses and Lemierre syndrome, including its gastrointestinal variant known as pylephlebitis...

BACKGROUND: Ochrobactrum spp. are non-fermenting, Gram-negative bacilli that are regarded as emerging human pathogens of low virulence that can cause infections. The first identified case of Ochrobactrum intermedium was reported in 1998 in a liver transplantation patient with liver abcess. There are no reports of infections in pediatric patients. Here, we report the first case of O. intermedium bacteremia in a pediatric patient. CASE PRESENTATION: A two and a half years old male was admitted with fever, chills and nausea...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver malignancy. The presentation of HCC is highly variable which can delay diagnosis. However, the early diagnosis of HCC can significantly improve prognosis. A rare presentation of a patient with a new diagnosis of HCC with sepsis is described. A 56-year-old male presented septic with abdominal pain and a background of a chronic foot infection. The septic screen identified echocardiographic evidence of vegetations on the aortic and mitral leaflets. Also, an ultrasound of the abdomen identified multiple hypoechoic lesions suspicious for liver abscesses...

With continuing worldwide growth in travel, timely information about the epidemiology of post-travel illness is important. Various travel-related surveillance systems have been established that provide these data. Knowledge about prevalences of important diseases in travelers and migrants can help in the differential diagnosis. On the other hand it has be kept in mind that also rare, but life-threatening diseases can be imported like leptospirosis, viral hemorrhagic fever or amebic liver abcess.

An 18-year-old male with right lower abdominal pain and elevated infection parameters is diagnosed with an abdominal abscess, multiple liver abscesses and a thrombus in his portal vein. This combination of findings leads to the diagnosis 'foie appendiculaire', a complicated form of appendicitis.

Large cystic renal tumours can be confused with hepatic lesions even on crosssectional imaging. Careful clinical, sonographic and imaging analysis is needed for establishing correct diagnosis. We report a case of papillary cystic renal carcinoma in a 60 year old man, which was confused with amoebic liver abcess and was initially drained. Subsequent recurrence of symptoms prompted us to re-evaluate the case and repeat sonography confirmed the extrahepatic origin of mass based on simple observation that the liver and mass were moving separately on inspiration...

Liver abscess is a rare complication of sigmoid diverticulitis and must be considered within the differential diagnosis. We report a case of a male patient, age 42, admitted to our hospital with chief complaints of a dull pain in upper right abdominal quadrant, fever, weakness, diarrhoea and weight loss of approximately 3 weeks duration. Physical examination on initial work-up revealed tenderness on palpation in upper right abdomen, and left iliac fosa and a 39 degrees C fever. Biochemistry showed marked inflammatory syndrome, leukocitosis, increased level of platelets, altered liver function...

Pelvic hydatid cysts, although rare, must be considered when evaluating a pelvic mass in women living in an endemic area. The pelvis may become secondarily involved as a result of a rupture of the cyst in another location or be the only localization of the disease. If the cyst becomes secondarily infected, it may mimic a tuboovarian abscess. A 49-year-old multipara was admitted to the emergency department with the complaint of fever, generalized abdominal pain and distension. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 4 cm cystic structure in the liver and the gynecological examination was normal...

AIM: Even though Spain has the highest donation rate in the world, our needs cannot be satisfied, specially in younger children. Living-related donor transplant is an alternative in those cases. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We performed a retrospective study of 57 living-related donor transplants performed in our hospital between June 1993 and December 2007. Median age and weight were 1.2 years old (0.5-14.8) and 8.5 kg (5-62). Indications for transplant were as follow: biliary atresia in 42 cases (73...

Acute pancreatitis is frequently associated with the development of local complications: collections, necrosis, pseudocysts and abdominal abscesses. Although the development of liver abscesses has been linked to bile duct obstruction or abdominal surgery in patients with chronic pancreatitis, there are few descriptions of liver abscesses associated with an episode of acute pancreatitis. We report the case of a 45-year-old man with a first episode of severe acute alcoholic pancreatitis, complicated with thrombosis of the right portal branch, liver abscess and intrahepatic biliary fistula...

We report the case of a 27-year-old man presenting with a hepatic abscess and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The association between HHT and an infectious disease seemed to be induced by arteriovenous malformations and maybe also by a deficit of polymorphonuclear cells, a monocyte oxidative burst and phagocytosis. This diagnosis should be suggested in case of serious infections in young patients. Prevention is based on screening for and destroying infection, antibioprophylaxis and embolization of arteriovenous malformations...

BACKGROUND: Despite its increasing popularity, laparoscopic appendectomy does not put an unanimous end to the answer to the best treatment for appendicitis. Although the postoperative stay is shorter, the wound infection practically does not exist and scars are minimal, some publications question its advantages due to the incidence of intra-abdominal absceses, postoperative analgesia requirements and the recently described "postlaparoscopic appendectomy complication" (PLAC), an intra-abdominal infection, without abscess formation, which develops after laparoscopic appendectomy for non-complicated appendicitis...

A 48-year-old woman who had abused alcohol admitted to our hospital because of fever and chest pain. Laboratory data presented inflammation and liver dysfunction. Chest X-ray films revealed multiple mass lesions with air fluid levels. We diagnosed multiple lung abscesses and started treatment with antibiotics. However, her fever did not improve and mass lesions increased. On day 6 of hospitalization, three drainage tubes were inserted percutaneously into the mass lesions under computed tomography (CT) guidance, and alpha-hemolytic streptococcus, peptostreptococcus sp...
