Abstract :

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) are space–occupying lesions in the liver associated with high morbidity and mortality. The majority of cases are polymicrobial and are most commonly caused by seedling of infection from biliary system. PLA is mostly associated with diabetis, underlying hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. PLA is a diagnostically challenging problem due to nonspecific presenting characteristics. Around 50 patients were identified. The majority of patients presented with fever (80%); right upper abdominal pain in 70%, vomiting and nausea in 30%. The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, of liver abscess have evolved remarkably over past few years. The study aims at early clinical and diagnosis on imaging of liver abscess, to set up some guide lines in view of conservative or either intervention.
