Abstract
[Extract] INTRODUCTION — Pyogenic liver abscesses usually develop following peritonitis due to leakage of intraabdominal bowel contents that subsequently spread to liver via the portal circulation or via direct spread from biliary infection. They may also result from arterial hematogenous seeding in the setting of systemic infection. The clinical approach to pyogenic liver abscess will be reviewed here. Amebic abscesses are discussed separately. (See Extraintestinal Entamoeba histolytica amebiasis.)
