Hepatic abscess

Signs and Symptoms Depend on the site of infection. Infection may produce osteomyelitis or arthritis pneumonia [with chills, productive cough, low blood pressure (hypotension), difficulty breathing (dyspnea), or chest pain] meningitis or cerebral abscesses (with headache, fever, vomiting, stupor, coma) or intra-abdominal infections (with biliary drainage, hepatic abscess, pancreatic abscess, peritoneal exudate).

Hepatic abscesses An abscess is displayed as low-signal in the Ti image and signal-intensive in the T2 image. The perifocal oedema cannot be separated from the lesion. Gadolinium CM can be used to visualize a thick abscess wall in the Ti image. Gas appears hypodense and cannot be differentiated from prior bleeding. Treatment of such abscesses is easily monitored.

Antibody titers against Entamoeba histolytica by use of an enzyme immunoassay were strongly reactive in Amy Biasis blood. A diagnosis of amoebiasis was made. Her physicians started nitroimidazole amoebicides intravenously in a dose of 500 mg every 6 hours for 10 days. By the third day of treatment, Amy began to feel noticeably better. Her physicians told her that they expected a full clinical response in 95% of patients with amoebic liver abscesses treated in this way, although her multiple hepatic abscesses adversely affected her prognosis to a degree.
