摘要
Hepatic abscesses are rare and can be pyogenic or amebic. Pyogenic hepatic abscesses are treated with antibiotics, percutaneous drainage when larger than 5 cm, and rarely requires surgical treatment. Clinical and laboratory manifestations of pyogenic hepatic abscesses include fever, abdominal pain, and elevations in liver enzymes. There is little documentation that a pyogenic hepatic abscess can cause acute liver failure. We present a case of a patient who developed acute liver failure secondary to a 14 cm pyogenic liver abscess. The patient???s hepatic function normalized with percutaneous drain placement and antibiotics.
