- Abstract
Introduction: Morbidity and mortality are significantly associated with bacterial infection in cirrhotic patients. Immune system mechanisms tend to be abnormal in patients with chronic liver disease. The causes of mortality in cirrhotic patients are associated with bacterial infections by 25%. Also, another problem with chronic liver disease is disorders in hemostasis. Although coagulopathy is mostly seen in acute liver failure, the most serious complication of liver cirrhosis and chronic liver failure is coagulopathy disorders. Case Report: A 61-year-old man with chronic liver disease was admitted to the emergency department with swelling in his left shoulder. In his history, after falling in the bathroom, a hematoma in the left scapular region developed; then, the hematoma became spontaneously infected. Conclusion: Even minor trauma can cause bleeding in patients with abnormal hemostasis parameters. These body fluids can become infected in the presence of underlying disease. Skin infections, particularly abscesses and collections, require drainage; sampling should be made; and appropriate antibiotic therapy must be initiated as soon as possible.
