ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: Los aneurismas infecciosos constituyen una patología poco frecuente y se caracterizan por presentar infección de la pared del vaso implicado. El mejor tratamiento no está definitivamente establecido. Objetivo: Describir un caso de aneurisma infeccioso con manejo endovascular. Caso clínico: Presentamos un paciente de sexo masculino de 75 años que ingresa por cuadro compatible con abdomen agudo y que en el posoperatorio se pesquisa un aneurisma infeccioso del tronco celíaco, el cual se trata mediante una endoprótesis y manejo antibiótico. Discusión: El manejo tradicional del aneurisma infeccioso es la cirugía abierta que incluye la extirpación o exclusión del aneurisma y de su tejido perivascular infectado, pero conlleva gran morbimortalidad. Conclusión: El aneurisma infeccioso puede ser manejado de forma mínimamente invasiva con técnica endovascular, con baja morbilidad inmediata, pero con resultados a largo plazo aun no concluyentes.


Introduction: Infectious aneurysms are a rare disease and are characterized by infection of the involved vessel wall. The best treatment is definitely not established. Aim: To describe a case of infectious aneurysm with endovascular management. Case report: We present a 75-year-old male patient admitted to a table compatible with acute abdomen and that an infectious aneurysm of the celiac trunk is investigated in the postoperative period, treated with an endoprosthesis and antibiotic management. Discussion: The traditional management of the infectious aneurysm is open surgery that includes the removal or exclusion of the aneurysm and its infected perivascular tissue, but it leads to great morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: The infectious aneurysm can be managed minimally invasively with endovascular technique, with immediate low morbidity, but with long-term results that are still inconclusive.

ABSTRACT

The Klebsiella pneumoniae invasive syndrome, first described in Asia, is being reported in other parts of the world. It causes liver abcsesses, with or without extrahepatic lesions. Diabetes mellitus is the most common hosts' underlying condition. It's frequent among asian people, even outside Asia, appearing to exist genetic factors, not yet established, increasing the risk. We present a case of a 55-year-old portuguese white diabetic man, who had a previous hospital admittion due to Klebsiella penumoniae pneumonia and a two-week latter diagnosis of liver abcsess. 4 years latter he was readmitted with nausea, chills, fever and myalgias. He had elevated inflammatory markers and the CT-scan showed 2 liver abscesses. Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated in blood and antibiotics were given with complete clinical and imaging resolution. We present this case of relapsing Klebsiella pneumonia liver abscesses in a non-asian man emphasizing the growing incidence of this condition in Europe.


O síndrome invasivo provocado por Klebsiella pneumoniae, descrito pela primeira vez na Ásia, tem vindo a ser reportado em outras partes do mundo. Provoca abcessos hepáticos, com ou sem lesões extra-hepáticas associadas. A diabetes mellitus é a condição predisponente do hospedeiro mais comum. É frequente nos indivíduos asiáticos, mesmo fora da Ásia, parecendo existir factores genéticos, ainda não estabelecidos, que aumentam o risco da infecção. Apresentamos o caso de um homem português de 55 anos, diabético que tinha uma admissão prévia no hospital por pneumonia provocada por Klebsiella pneumoniae, com diagnóstico de abcesso hepático 2 semanas depois. 4 anos mais tarde, foi readmitido com um quadro clínico de nauseas, calafrios, febre e mialgias. Apresentava parâmetros inflamatórios elevados e a tomografia computorizada (TC) abdominal revelou 2 abcessos. Foi isolada Klebsiella pneumoniae em hemoculturas e foram administrados antibióticos com completa resolução clínica e imagiológica. Apresentamos este caso de abcessos hepáticos recidivantes por Klebsiella pneumoniae num homem não asiático, enfatizando a incidência crescente desta entidade na Europa.

ABSTRACT

Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess has a tendency to spread to distant sites early in the course of disease and to involve multiple organs synchronously. A 59-year-old male was admitted because of liver abscess accompanied by fever and abdominal pain. The patient underwent percutaneous catheter drainage and received intravenous antibiotics. Symptom relief was achieved after the treatment as well as marked reduction in the size of the abscess. Despite proper treatment of the liver abscess, however, patient developed multiple metastatic infections in a non-concurrent manner: left and right endophthalmitis, psoas abscess, and infectious spondylitis at 5, 23, 30 and 65 days after initial manifestations of liver abscess, respectively. Each infectious episode followed one another after resolution of the former one. For each episode of metastatic infections, the patient promptly underwent treatment with systemic and local antibiotics, interventional abscess drainage, and surgical treatments as needed. The patient fully recovered without sequelae after the use of intravenous antibiotics for an extended period of time. Herein, we report a case of K. pneumoniae liver abscess complicated with delayed-onset multiple metastatic infections.

ABSTRACT

Se informa el caso de un hombre residente en la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia, quien consultó al servicio de urgencias del Hospital el Tunal de dicha ciudad por dolor abdominal progresivo de seis días de evolución, localizado en el cuadrante superior derecho, asociado a ictericia y fiebre, sin antecedentes relevantes. Al ingreso tenía deterioro marcado del estado general, por lo que requirió atención en la unidad de cuidados intesivos; se le hicieron estudios de imágenes diagnósticas que documentaron una colección multiseptada en el lóbulo hepático izquierdo, y un cuerpo extraño. En la laparotomía se encontró un hueso de pescado como causa del absceso. Con el drenaje y la terapia antibiótica la evolución fue favorable.


We report the case of a man who consulted the emergency department of Hospital el Tunal in Bogotá, Colombia, because of six days of progressive abdominal pain in the upper right quadrant, associated with jaundice and fever; there was no relevant information in his medical history. On admission he was found in poor general condition and required management in the intensive care unit; diagnostic imaging studies documented a multiseptate collection in the left hepatic lobe, and a foreign body. He was submitted to laparotomy in which a fish bone was found as the cause of the abscess. After drainage of the collection and with antibiotic therapy evolution was favorable.

ABSTRACT

El absceso hepático piógeno producido por klebsiella pneumoniae es relativamente raro y puede complicarse con lesiones sépticas a distancia. Esto se relaciona con características propias del germen que incluye el genotipo K1, resistencia a la fagocitosis y la presencia de gen mag-A. Tales metástasis sépticas contemplan absceso pulmonar, meningitis, endocarditis bacteriana y, muy especialmente, endoftalmitis. Esta última ocurre con mayor frecuencia en pacientes diabéticos, y puede causar ceguera. Se reporta caso de absceso hepático por K. pneumoniae asociado a absceso pulmonar y endoftalmitis, y se revisa epidemiología, fisiopatologia, diagnóstico y tratamiento de la entidad...

ABSTRACT

El Staphylococcus aureus meticilino resistente adquirido en la comunidad (SAMR-AC) emergió en Uruguay en el año 2001 y desde ese momento se ha establecido como agente de múltiples enfermedades infecciosas de la infancia. Algunas formas clínicas de presentación más frecuentes, como las infecciones superficiales, no ofrecen habitualmente dificultades diagnósticas. Otras menos frecuentes, como los abscesos de localización profunda, son formas menos conocidas donde el diagnóstico no es sencillo y existe riesgo de tratamiento tardío lo cual contribuye a una mayor carga de morbimortalidad por este agente. En este trabajo se comunican cuatro casos clínicos de abscesos profundos por SAMR-AC, en pacientes hospitalizados en los años 2009- 2011 en el Hospital Pediátrico del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell. Se presentan tres casos de abscesos musculares, dos de ellos retroperitoneales, y un caso de abscesos hepáticos, forma de presentación infrecuente pero típica de este agente. Se destacan en esta serie las dificultades para el diagnóstico temprano por lo inespecífico de la presentación clínica, el apoyo fundamental de la imagenología en la confirmación diagnóstica, la necesidad de tratamiento antimicrobiano prolongado y del drenaje adecuado del material colectado importante en la identificación microbiológica del agente implicado...

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hepatic or splenic lesions in hematologic patients are not defined well because they are not easy to evaluate due to limitations of invasive procedures. Management typically depends on the clinical diagnosis with few microbiological data. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of consecutive hematologic patients with hepatic or splenic lesions in the infectious diseases unit from April 2009 to December 2010 at the Catholic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Center in Korea. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients were identified. Their mean age was 46.0 +/- 14.7 years, and 16 (61.5%) were male. Underlying diseases were acute myelogenous leukemia (n = 15, 57.7%) and myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 6, 23.1%). Among the nine nontuberculous infectious lesions, two bacterial, six fungal, and one combined infection were identified. The numbers of confirmed, probable, and possible tuberculosis (TB) cases were one, three, and four, respectively. Two patients had concurrent pulmonary TB. QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT, Cellestis Ltd.) was positive in seven cases, among which six were diagnosed with TB. The sensitivity and specificity of QFT-GIT were 75% and 81.3%. Nine (34.6%) were defined as noninfectious causes. CONCLUSIONS: Causes of hepatic or splenic lesion in hematologic patients were diverse including TB, non-TB organisms, and noninfectious origins. TB should be considered for patients not responding to antibacterial or antifungal drugs, even in the absence of direct microbiological evidence. QFT-GIT may be useful for a differential diagnosis of hepatosplenic lesions in hematologic patients.

ABSTRACT

Opportunistic fungal infections in immunocompromised patients are usually caused by candida, aspergillus, cryptococcus or zygomycetes. Rarely, fungal infections may occur in immunocompetent indivivals and are usually caused by cryptococcus or aspergillus. When infected by cryptococcus, the usual sites of infection include respiratory tract, central nervous system, or skin. Uncommon sites are liver, spleen, prostate, and bone marrow. When it involves liver, it can present with micro-abscesses, cholangitis, or hepatitis. Here we report a case of cryptococcal infection of liver in a HIV-negative patient presenting with micro-abscesses.

ABSTRACT

Edwardsiella tarda is very seldom a cause for gastroenteritis in humans. This organism can also cause extraintestinal infections, such as soft tissue infections, meningitis, peritonitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis and hepatobiliary tract disease, particularly in the setting of compromised immunity. We describe, for the first time a case of E. tarda sepsis with multiple liver abscesses associated with Cushing's syndrome as a result of recreational aquatic exposure.

ABSTRACT

El absceso hepático (AH) sigue siendo causa de alta mortalidad y morbilidad en el mundo relacionadas con las condiciones sociodemográficas de los países en desarrollo. Analizar las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, diagnósticas y terapéuticas de los AH en pacientes pediátricos en nueve centros asistenciales del país. Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, donde se revisaron las historias clínicas en pacientes menores de 17 años de edad con diagnóstico de AH ingresados entre Enero-1998 a Mayo-2011. Se incluyeron 161 pacientes: predominaron los masculinos 59,01% (95/161), preescolares 42,24% (68/161), procedencia tipo urbana: 68,33% (110/161). Tiempo promedio de enfermedad prehospitalaria: 10 días y de hospitalización: 22 días. Los principales hallazgos fueron: fiebre: 96,27% (155/161), dolor abdominal 88,19% (142/161), leucocitosis: 91,30% (147/161) con neutrofilia 86,34% (139/161), comorbilidades por migración errática por Ascaris lumbricoides 19,88% (32/161), desnutrición 15,13% (23/152), AH único: 77,64% (125/161), lóbulo derecho: 82,61% (133/161), tipo piógeno 62,9% (56/89). El 96,89% recibieron Metronidazol (156/161) asociado en su mayoría con cefalosporina de tercera generación más aminoglicósido 24,22% (39/161). Se les realizó drenaje del AH 28,57% (46/161). La Mortalidad fue: 1,86%. Los hallazgos clínicos-epidemiológicos y estudios imagenológicos permiten establecer el diagnóstico preciso e instaurar la antibioticoterapia ideal, reduciendo significativamente su morbilidad y mortalidad


Liver abscess (AH) remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world related to the sociodemographic conditions of developing countries. To analyze the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and treatment of AH in pediatric patients in nine centers throughout the country. A descriptive, retrospective, which reviewed the medical records for patients under 17 years of age diagnosed with AH admitted between January 1998 to May-2011. Results: We included 161 patients: male predominance of 59.01% (95/161), preschool 42.24% (68/161), urban-type origin: 68.33% (110/161). Average time of prehospital illness: 10 days, and hospitalization: 22 days. The main findings were: fever: 96.27% (155/161), abdominal pain 88.19% (142/161), leukocytosis: 91.30% (147/161) with neutrophilia 86.34% (139/161), comorbidities by erratic migration Ascaris lumbricoides 19.88% (32/161), malnutrition 15.13% (23/152), AH only: 77.64% (125/161), right lobe: 82.61% (133/161), pyogenic type 62.9% (56/89). The 96.89% received metronidazole (156/161) associated mostly with third-generation cephalosporin, aminoglycoside 24.22% (39/161). Underwent drainage of AH 28.57% (46/161). Mortality was: 1.86%. The clinical-epidemiological and imaging studies allow us to establish accurate diagnosis and institute the perfect antibiotic, significantly reducing morbidity and mortality

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar e discutir a experiência clínica de uma doença comum, porém de etiologia pouco frequente com risco de óbito na falta do diagnóstico precoce. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 25 anos, foi admitida no hospital com dor abdominal, febre e calafrios. O exame físico revelou anemia e dor epigástrica. Os dados do laboratório mostraram leucocitose e função hepática alterada. A tomografia computadorizada (TC) de abdômen revelou abscessos no lobo direito e esquerdo do fígado. A laparotomia exploratória foi realizada e uma espinha de peixe de 2,8 cm de comprimento foi encontrada perfurando o duodeno e penetrando no lóbulo esquerdo do fígado formando um abscesso hepático. A drenagem do abscesso hepático com remoção da espinha de peixe e fechamento simples da perfuração foi realizada. A paciente evoluiu bem e recebeu alta hospitalar. CONCLUSÃO: O diagnóstico de abscesso hepático secundário à perfuração do trato gastrintestinal por um corpo estranho é de difícil reconhecimento uma vez que há uma variedade de sintomas inespecíficos e porque os pacientes muitas vezes desconhecem a ingestão. Mesmo assim, na presença de abscessos hepáticos, a etiologia deve ser insistentemente investigada, principalmente quando não responde à terapia inicial. A presença de um corpo estranho deve ser lembrada como possível causa de um abscesso hepático, mesmo que raro, para evitar que se protele o tratamento adequado.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to discuss the clinical experience of a common disease of infrequent etiology where as death can occur without early diagnosis. CASE REPORT: Female patient, 25 years-old, was admitted with abdominal pain, fever and chills. Physical examination revealed anemia and epigastric pain. Laboratory data showed leukocytosis and abnormal liver function. Computed tomography (CT) of abdomen showed abscesses in the right and left lobe of the liver. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and a fish bone 2.8 cm in length was found perforating the duodenum and penetratingin to the left lobe of the liver forming a liver abscess. The drainage of liver abscess with removal of fish bones and simple closure of perforation was performed. The patient recovered well and was discharged. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of liver abscess secondary to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract by a foreign body is difficult to recognize since there are a variety of nonspecific symptoms and because patients often unaware of ingestion. Still, in the presence of liver abscess, etiology should be investigated urgently, particularly when not responding to initial therapy. The presence of aforeign body should be remembered as a possible cause of liver abscess, even though rare, to avoid delays the proper treatment.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los abscesos hepáticos tienen múltiples etiologías, siendo los amebianos endémicos en los países en desarrollo, con una incidencia de 21 en 100.000 habitantes, generalmente son únicos y se ubican en el lóbulo derecho. Son más prevalentes en el sexo masculino, entre la tercera y quinta década de la vida. La mortalidad depende de la diferenciación entre el absceso piógeno, que es de alta mortalidad (hasta 40%) y que con frecuencia requiere drenaje, y el amebiano que es de nula mortalidad, el cual requerirá drenaje, dependiendo de su tamaño y de algunas localizaciones críticas. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue determinar la prevalencia y características ultrasonográficas de los abscesos hepáticos en el servicio de gastroenterología del Hospital General del Oeste. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión retrospectiva de los hallazgos ultrasonográficos en pacientes con diagnóstico de absceso hepático, que acudieron al servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital General del Oeste, entre el año 2008 y el año 2010. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 58 pacientes. De los cuales el 72.4% fueron del sexo masculino y 27.5% del sexo femenino. Con una edad promedio de 37.6 años. El principal hallazgo ultrasonográfico fue absceso hepático único en 86.7%, de tamaño mediano (43.1%), con ubicación en el lóbulo derecho (84.4%). El 100% de los pacientes recibió tratamiento médico basado en antibioticoterapia, en 87.93% sólo se indico tratamiento médico, 5.17% drenaje percutáneo y 6.89% drenaje quirúrgico. Conclusión: Los abscesos hepáticos en nuestro centro son más frecuentes en el sexo masculino, siendo el hallazgo ultrasonográfico más común la presencia de abscesos medianos, únicos y ubicados en lóbulo derecho. En cuanto al tratamiento, la totalidad de los pacientes recibió antibioticoterapia oral o endovenosa, siendo bajo el porcentaje de pacientes que ameritó el drenaje de los mismos.


Introduction: Liver abscesses have multiple etiologies, with the amoebic form as a endemic in developing countries, with an incidence of 21 in 100,000 people, they are unique and are usually located in the right lobe. They are more prevalent in males between the third and fifth decade of life. Mortality depends on the differentiation between pyogenic abscess, which is a high mortality (up to 40%) and often requires drainage, and amebic which is no mortality, which require drainage, depending on their size and some locations criticism. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and ultrasonographic features of liver abscesses in the department of gastroenterology at the Hospital General del Oeste. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of ultrasound findings in patients with liver abscess, who attended the Gastroenterology Service of the Western General Hospital, between 2008 and 2010. Results: A total of 58 patients. Of which 72.4% were male and 27.5% female. With an average age of 37.6 years. The main finding was ultrasonographic liver abscess in 86.7% single, medium-sized (43.1%), with location in the right lobe (84.4%). 100% of the patients received medical treatment based on antibiotic therapy in only 87.93% indicated medical treatment, 5.17% percutaneous drainage and 6.89% surgical drainage. Conclusión: Liver abscesses in our hospital are more frequent in males, being the most common ultrasonographic finding: abscesses medium, unique and located in the right lobe. As for treatment, all patients received oral or intravenous antibiotics, with low percentage of patients that required draining them.

ABSTRACT

La migración errática de los áscaris hacia vías biliares, vesícula biliar y conducto pancreático puede ocasionar la obstrucción de esas estructuras, manifestándose como cólico biliar, colecistitis alitiásica, colangitis, pancreatitis aguda y absceso hepático. Objetivo: reportar el manejo clínico y endoscópico de pacientes con pancreatitis ascaridiana. Pacientes y Método: estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, de pacientes con Pancreatitis Aguda, se revisa cuadro clínico, datos epidemiológicos, etiología, exámenes paraclínicos, ultrasonido y terapia médica. Resultados: 10/34 (29,41%) con Pancreatitis Aguda por Áscaris lumbricoides; edad promedio 6,3 años, antecedente de expulsión de vermes por boca (60,00%). El dolor abdominal y vómitos en el 100%, con elevación de amilasa y lipasa. Ecografía abdominal: aumento de volumen de páncreas, vermes en vías biliares y colédoco en 100%, 4/10 (40,00%) absceso hepático y 1/10 (10,00%) pseudoquiste pancreático. Se realizo la remoción de ovillo de áscaris en duodeno por endoscopia a 5/10(50,00%), utilizando pinza de cuerpos extraño y 3/5(60,00%) para vermes impactado en papila, papilotomía mínima con extracción. Se indico Albendazol por 5 días. Conclusión: en todo niño con dolor abdominal y vómitos, se deben realizar pruebas de funcionalismo pancreático y ultrasonido abdominal para descartar pancreatitis. En la pancreatitis ascaridiana el Albendazol resulto ser una terapia satisfactoria.


The migration of Ascaris erratic to bile ducts, gallbladder and pancreatic duct can cause obstruction of these structures, manifesting as biliary colic, acalculous cholecystitis, cholangitis, acute pancreatitis and liver abscesses. Objective: To report the clinical and endoscopic ascariasis pancreatitis. Patients and Methods: A descriptive and retrospective study of patients with acute pancreatitis, we review the clinical, epidemiological, etiology, laboratory test results, ultrasound and medical therapy. Results: 10/34 (29.41%) with acute pancreatitis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, mean age 6.3 years, history of expulsion of worms by mouth (60.00%). Abdominal pain and vomiting in 100%, with elevation of amylase and lipase. Abdominal ultrasound enlargement of the pancreas, worms in bile ducts and bile duct in 100%,%), 4/10 (40.00%), hepatic abscess and 1/10 (10.00%) pancreatic pseudocyst. Removal was performed ascaris ball of the duodenum by endoscopy at 5/10 (50.00%), using foreign body forceps and 3/5 (60.00%) for worms impacted papilla use papillotomy minimum. Albendazole is indicated for 5 days. Conclusion: In all children with abdominal pain and vomiting, should be performed pancreatic function tests and abdominal ultrasound to rule out pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT

Reporte de casos:Se recolectaron los datos de las historias clínicas del HUV de 14 niños menores de 15 años de edad con diagnóstico de primera vez de AH con presencia de la triada clínica diagnostica y confirmados ecográficamente. Se analizaron variables como edad, género, procedencia, signos y síntomas, tiempo de evolución, y paraclínicos de diagnóstico al igual que manejo instaurado; encontrándose edad 8,7 años, con diagnóstico de primera vez, 7 masculinos, 11 procedentes del Valle del Cauca, con un tiempo de evolución entre 2 y 30 días (11,2 días) y una estancia hospitalaria entre 6 y 90 días (21,7 días). Otros síntomas incluyeron vómito en 8/14, anorexia y diarrea en 3/14, tos en 2/14 y cefalea y astenia en 1/10. Presentaron desnutrición aguda 3/7, crónica 3/7 y global 5/7. En 13/14 ecografías abdominales se encontraron AH localizados del lado derecho, siendo únicos en 11/13. Otros paraclínicos evidenciaron: hipoalbuminemia en 5/6, incremento de la VES y PCR en 14/14 y alteración de las pruebas de funcionamiento hepático en 3/7. En 9/14 niños los cultivos del material de drenaje de colección identificaron E.coli, S. viridans, S. epidermidis y P. aureginosa. 2/6 presentaron amibas al examen de heces Conclusión:El AH se debe sospechar clínicamente ante la triada fiebre, hepatomegalia y dolor abdominal de predomino en hipocondrio derecho, corroborar su localización y tipo de presentación con una ecografía abdominal, apoyar su diagnóstico con algunos paraclínicos en sangre y heces, e iniciar su pronto y adecuado manejo médico con antiparasitarios y antibióticos siguiendo una adecuada evolución y así evi tar sus complicaciones que pueden ocasionar mayor morbimortalidad.


Case Report:We collected data from medical records of HUVof 14 children under 15 years of age with first-time diagnosis of liver abscess in the presence of the clinical triad diagnosed and confirmed sonographically. We analyzed variables such as age, gender, signs and symptoms, evolution time, clinical and laboratory data for diagnosis as well as established management; finding age 8.7 years ofage with first time diagnosed, 7 male 11 from the Valle del Cauca, with a time between 2 and 30 days (13.5 days) and hospital stay between 6 and 90 days (21,7 days). Other symptoms included vomiting in 8 /14, anorexia and diarrhea in 3/14, cough in 3/14, and headache and asthenia in 1 / 10. Acute malnutrition showed 3 / 7, chronic 3 / 7, global 5 / 7. The abdominal ultrasounds were located AH on the right, being unique in 11/13. Other paraclinical showed: albumin in 5 / 6, increased ESR and CRP 14/14 and impaired liver function tests in 3 / 7. In 9 / 14 children's material culture collection identified drainage E. coli, S. viridans, S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa. 3 / 6 presented amoebas to stool examination. Medical management lasted between 10 and 42 days (17.7 days) with antibiotics such as oxacillin, clindamycin, metronidazole, amikacin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ampicillin-sulbactam, piperacillintazobactam, metronidazole being used in 13 / 14. 9 / 10 required surgical drainage guided by ultrasound.Conclusion:The AH should be suspected clinically with the triad fever, hepatomegaly and right upper quadrant abdominal pain, verify their location and type of presentation with an abdominal ultrasound, supporting some paraclinical diagnosis with blood and feces, and initiate a prompt and suitable worming and medical treatment with appropriate antibiotics following developments, thereby avoiding the complications that can lead to increased morbidity and mortality.

ABSTRACT

Fusobacteria are anaerobic gram-negative, non-spore forming bacilli found in normal flora of the oral cavity, urogenital tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Fusobacterium nucleatum has been seldom reported as a cause of liver abscess, particularly in immunocompetent hosts. A 55-year-old man with frequent periodontal disease visited our hospital with intermittent fever and headache for 2 months. Abdominal CT scan revealed an 8.2x6 cm mass in the right hepatic lobe with central low density. Abscess culture revealed F. nucleatum as the causative organism. Percutaneous abscess drainage and intravenous administration of antibiotics for 4 weeks improved symptoms and decreased the abscess size. We report a rare case of liver abscess due to F. nucleatum in an immunocompetent man with periodontal disease.
