Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Pyogenic liver abscess is an infrequent clinica! entity, often with an atypical way of presentation, which contributes to a delay in diagnosis. Presently, aspiration and/or catheter drainage associated to antibiotic therapy, is the method of first choice in pyogenic liver abscess treatment. Surgery is indicated when medical treatment has failed, or in those patients requiring abdominal exploration. We report four cases; three of them caused by Streptococcus anginosus. One patient was treated with systemic antibiotics only; the others underwent percutaneous therapy as well. None of the cases needed surgical treatment.
