    Author: Wong CS, Cho G, Godfrey EM, Harper S.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2019 Apr 15; 12(4):. PubMed ID: 30992283.
    Abstract:
    Portal pyaemia or pylephlebitis is a form of septic (often suppurative) thrombophlebitis of the portal venous system. It may develop as a complication of intra-abdominal sepsis, such as diverticulitis or appendicitis. Patients typically present with a high fever that is sometimes accompanied by jaundice. We report a case of portal pyaemia associated with multiple liver abscesses and discuss the medical and surgical management of this condition.
