ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Background:

The pyogenic liver abscess has an incidence of 1.1/1,000 habitants. Mortality can reach 100%. The use of less invasive procedures diminish morbidity and hospital stay.

Aim:

Identify risk factors in patients who underwent percutaneous drainage guided by ultrasound as treatment.

Method:

Were analyzed 10 patients submitted to the method. Epidemiological characteristics, laboratory markers and imaging exams (ultrasound and CT) were evaluated.

Results:

The majority of the patients were men with mean age of 50 years old. Liver disease, alcoholism and biliary tract disease were the most common prodromes. Abdominal pain (90%), fever (70%) and jaundice (40%) were the most common clinical manifestations. Mortality of 20% was observed in this series. Hypoalbuminemia and days of hospitalization had a statistically significant positive association with death.

Conclusion:

The pyogenic liver abscess has subacute evolution which makes the diagnosis difficult. Image exams have high sensitivity in diagnosis, particularly computed tomography. Percutaneous drainage associated with antibiotic therapy is safe and effective therapeutic resource.
RESUMO
RESUMO Racional O abscesso hepático piogênico tem incidência de 1,1 por 1.000 habitantes com mortalidade podendo chegar a 100%. O uso de recursos menos invasivos diminuem morbimortalidade e tempo de internação hospitalar.

Objetivo:

Identificar fatores de risco no abscesso hepático piogênico tratado por drenagem percutânea guiada por ultrassom.

Método:

Total de 10 pacientes foram submetidos ao procedimento. Foram avaliadas características epidemiológicas, marcadores laboratoriais exames de imagem (ultrassom e tomografia).

Resultados:

Na amostra houve predominância do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 50 anos. Hepatopatia, etilismo e doença da via biliar foram os pródromos mais frequentes. Dor abdominal (90%), febre (70%) e icterícia (40%) foram manifestações clínicas mais comuns. Houve mortalidade de 20% nesta série. Hipoalbuminemia e dias de internação hospitalar tiveram associação positiva com óbito estatisticamente significante.

Conclusão:

O abscesso hepático piogênico tem evolução subaguda o que dificulta o diagnóstico. Exames de imagem têm sensibilidade alta na propedêutica diagnóstica, notadamente a tomografia computadorizada. A drenagem percutânea, associada à antibioticoterapia, mostrou ser recurso terapêutico seguro e eficaz.
