Liver Abscess Associated with Persistent Streptococcus anginosus Bacteremia.
- Abstract
The article presents a case study, which was the part of a photo quiz related to liver abscess associated with persistent streptococcus anginosus bacteremia. It informs that a 48-year-old Samoan man presented to Tupua Tamasese Hospital in Apia, Samoa, with a 3-day history of abdominal pain and fever. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a liver abscess measuring 56 cm. Despite surgical drainage and therapy with intravenous amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, high intermittent fevers persisted. A hemolytic streptococcus was isolated from the surgical specimens.
