  • Title: Pediatric pyogenic liver abscess.
    Author: Israeli R, Jule JE, Hom J.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2009 Feb; 25(2):107-8. PubMed ID: 19225380.
    Abstract:
    Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a rare pediatric disease. Typically, PLA is found in adults with biliary disease. There are no typical physical findings or symptoms. Often, pathogenic organisms are not recovered for identification. This case illustrates a teenager presenting with prolonged episodes of fever and vomiting. With percutaneous drainage and month-long antibiotic therapy, the PLA resolved. This case illustrates that a high index of suspicion is needed for diagnosis.
