  • Title: Clostridial liver abscess following blunt abdominal trauma: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Abdel-Haq NM, Chearskul P, Salimnia H, Asmar BI.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2007; 39(8):734-7. PubMed ID: 17654354.
    Abstract:
    An 11-y-old boy developed a liver abscess 3 weeks following blunt abdominal trauma. Abscess culture yielded pure growth of Clostridium novyi type B, not previously reported as a cause of human infection. The patient was managed successfully with antibiotic therapy and continuous percutaneous drainage. Clostridial liver abscess following blunt abdominal trauma may occur as a delayed complication and may be managed without resectional debridement.
