In 1948, Conan first reported 6 cases of hepatic amaebiasis (without abscess of the liver) successfully treated with Chloroquine. In the same year Murgatroyd and Kant reported a case of refractory amcebic abscess treated with Chloroquine. In 1949 Conan confirmed the efficacy of Chloroquine against amcebic hepatitis (without abscess formation) with the report of 7 cases?in which it was used with...

Abstract A 58‐year‐old man was referred to our hospital with right abdominal pain. Contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (CECT) showed a rim‐enhanced lesion fluid collection in the hepatic lobe. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed Borrmann type 1 tumor on middle gastric body, identified as an adenocarcinoma pathology. The patient underwent percutaneous transhepatic abscess drainage and tr...

PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness of percutaneous abscess drainage in patients with pyogenic liver abscesses of the following types: single, single multiloculated, multiple, and multiple multiloculated. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred nine patients with 149 liver abscesses who underwent percutaneous drainage during an 11-year period were divided into a single abscess group and a multiple...

Amoebic liver abscess is an endemic in developing countries but few cases of associated vascular complications have been reported. The authors report a very rare vascular complication of hepatic veins and inferior vena caval (IVC) thrombosis extending into the right atrium in a young male with large amoebic liver abscess. Optimal result was achieved with early diagnosis on CT scan, percutaneous...

Secondary infection of the skin to hydatidosis of the liver is very rare. In this report a man is presented with two cutaneous abscesses in right lower part of his chest wall. Further examination disclosed a hydatid cyst 91,111 mm in diameter in the lower part of the right lobe of the liver connecting with the cutaneous abscesses. This case is reported because of its unusual form of presentation.

A 40-year-old man was admitted with a continuous high grade fever accompanying a relatively large solitary liver abscess with septations. A puncture of the abscess revealed gram-negative rods that could be identified histologically as Fusobacterium necrophorum, which was later confirmed by tissue culture. The patient was switched to meropenem and penicillin, and cured of the infection. Fusobact...

A common etiology of diabetic ketoacidosis is severe infection [1], and hyperglycemia has been reported to be a possible risk factor for developing a liver abscess [2]. Streptococcus anginosus is a subgroup of streptococcus viridians, which commonly exists in normal oral and gastrointestinal flora. Streptococcus anginosus differs from other bacterial subgroups as Streptococcus anginosus may cau...
