to study the prevalence of liver abscess in cattle slaughtered in shiraz, livers from 435 (242 male and 193 female) randomly selected cattle were examined. in the examined livers, number, location and size of the abscesses were recorded. gross lesions were found in 34 (8.28%) out of the examined livers; of which 28 liver (6.44%) had liver abscess (20 liver had abscesses and 8 liver had scarring...

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.

RATIONALE Pyogenic hepatic abscess in children is a rare clinical condition. Hepatic abscesses caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus are extremely rare. PATIENT CONCERNS A 6-year-old boy was referred to a tertiary children's hospital for a 6-day history of right lower abdominal pain and fever. Radiographic findings showed hepatic abscesses and soft tissue abscesses around the ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is difficult to differentiate the cause of brain abscesses with the use of CT and MR imaging. We did a comparative evaluation of pyogenic, tubercular, and fungal brain abscesses by using conventional, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and proton MR spectroscopy (PMRS) with an aim to define the unique features that may differentiate among the pyogenic, tubercular, and f...

Multiple pyogenic brain abscesses constituted 11.7% (21 patients) of a series of 179 consecutive patients with brain abscess treated from 1976 to 1984. The commonest cause of these abscesses was congenital cyanotic heart disease (38%), followed by middle ear infection (19%). Two thirds of these patients were in the first two decades of life. The clinical presentation was similar to brain absces...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging features are nonspecific with respect to the causative organism for patients with brain abscesses. On the basis of the hypothesis that the biochemical environment depends on the infecting organism and might be different in tuberculous compared with pyogenic brain abscesses, this study attempted to determine whether pyogenic brain abscesses can be differentiated...

background brain abscess is an infrequent complication of meningitis, including cases caused by gram-negative enteric bacteria and klebsiella in neonates. brain abscess in neonates associated with high morbidity and mortality.recently, incidence of the disease is increasing because of increased predisposing factors. patients and method three cases of brain abscess in neonates are reported, 2 of...

Liver abscesses containing hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae have emerged during the past 2 decades, originally in Southeast Asia and then worldwide. We hypothesized that hypervirulent K. pneumoniae might also be emerging in France. In a retrospective, monocentric, cohort study, we analyzed characteristics and outcomes for 199 consecutive patients in Paris, France, with liver abscesses during...
