  • Pyogenic liver abscesses are rare in children. In pediatric patients, altered host defences seem to play an important role. However, pyogenic liver abscess also occurs in healthy children. We experienced a case of pyogenic liver abscess in a healthy immunocompetent 10-year-old-girl. The patient presented two distinct abscesses: one subphrenic and the other intrahepatic. The intrahepatic abscess resolved with percutaneous drainage and 3 weeks of parenteral antibiotic therapy but the subphrenic abscess which could not be drained needed prolonged parenteral antibiotic therapy in addition to oral antibiotic therapy. We performed follow-up serial CT scan of the abscess cavity to decide on the duration of antibiotic therapy. Here we present this case with a brief review of the literature.

  • 건강한 소아에서 화농성 간농양은 선진국에서는 드문 질환이지만 진단과 치료가 늦어진다면 치명적일 수 있는 질환이다. 전세계적으로 화농성 간농양의 가장 흔한 원인균은 Staphylococcus aureus이며 국내의 경우 Klebsiella pneumoniae가 가장 흔하지만, 혐기균에 의한 화농성 간농양도 매우 드물게 보고되고 있다. 발열과 우상복부 통증을 주소로 응급실에 온 14세 남아가 우상복부 압통을 보이고 백혈구 상승, 빈혈, 간효소치 상승을 보여 조영증강 복부컴퓨터단층촬영을 시행한 결과 간농양을 진단하였다. 환자는 2주간의 경피적 도관 배액술과 4주간의 항생제 치료 후 완쾌되었다. 간농양 배양검사에서 혐기균이자 구강 상재균인 Prevotella intermedia가 확인되었으나 감염의 근원이 치아조직 감염이라는 증거를 찾지는 못하였다. 본 증례와 같이 건강한 소아에서도 화농성 간농양이 발생할 수 있음을 염두에 두고 진단적 접근을 하는 것이 바람직하겠다.

  • Pyogenic liver abscess with metastatic septic complications is a rare and serious infectious disease if not treated properly. Pyogenic liver abscesses are caused by bacterial, fungal, or parasitic organisms. Escherichia coli used to be the predominant causative agent, but Klebsiella pneumoniae emerged as a major cause in the 1990s. Liver abscesses are caused by hepatic invasion via many routes, such as, the biliary tree, portal vein, hepatic artery, direct extension, or penetrating trauma. Furthermore, diabetes mellitus and malignant conditions are established important risk factors of K. pneumoniae liver abscesses and of septic metastasis, and several recent studies have asserted that K. pneumoniae liver abscess might be a presentation of occult or silent colon cancer. We report a case of K. pneumoniae liver abscess, metastatic septic pulmonary embolism, and endophthalmitis associated with diabetes and advanced gastric cancer.

  • Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is rare in healthy children. We report a case of PLA in an immunocompetent 12-year-old boy. Percutaneous catheter drainage was performed for the abscess. In addition, parenteral antibiotics were administered for 3 weeks. Klebsiella pneumoniae was detected in the culture of blood and drained fluid. Here, we present this case and a brief review of the literature on this subject.

  • Synchronous gastric cancer and adenomatous colorectal polyp in patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced pyogenic liver abscess (KP-PLA) and bacteremia is a rare presentation. A 58-year-old man with a 6-month history of diabetes mellitus (DM) presented with febrile sensation and dull abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Subsequent to laboratory test results and abdominal computed tomography findings, KP-PLA with bacteremia was diagnosed. After intravenous antibiotic administration, his symptoms improved, and upper endoscopy and colonoscopy were performed to evaluate the cause of KP-PLA. Biopsy specimens of the prepyloric anterior wall revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Endoscopic mucosal resection of the colon revealed high-grade dysplasia. Early gastric cancer (EGC) and adenomatous colorectal polyps with high-grade dysplasia concomitant with KP-PLA and bacteremia were diagnosed in our patient who had DM. Intravenous antibiotic treatment for KP-PLA, subtotal gastrectomy for EGC, and colonoscopic mucosal resection for the colon polyp were performed. After 25 days of hospitalization, subtotal gastrectomy with adjacent lymph node dissection was performed. Follow-up ultrasound imaging showed resolution of the abscess 5 weeks post-antibiotic treatment, as well as no tumor metastasis. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy should be performed to evaluate gastric cancer in patients with PLA or bacteremia, accompanied with DM or an immunocompromised condition.

  • 간농양은 선진국과 개발도상국에서 발생빈도에 차이가 있는 질환으로 국내에서는 드물다. 면역결핍, 간, 담도계기형, 천공성 충수염, 외상, 단백질 결핍 등의 선행요인이 있을 때 발생하기 쉬우며 Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus, Bacteroides와 Entamoeba histolytica 등에 의해 유발된다. 저자들은 발열을 주소로 내원한 건강한 12세 남아에서 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 시행하여 간농양을 발견하였으며 경피배액술 흡인물 배양 검사에서 Staphylococcus epidermidis가 검출되어 항생제를 투여하여 합병증 없이 치료하였기에 보고한다.

  • Six cases of broncho-pleural fistula due to complicated liver abscess were experienced at the department of chest surgery, Seoul National University Hospital from October 1967 to March 1970. Amebic liver abscess was the primary cause in the 5 cases and the remaining one case was due to pyogenic liver abscess. Involved lung was right side in all case. The clinical manifestation was fever,chill,cough, sputum, dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis and shoulder pain. The methods of the treatment employed were closed thoracotomy [1], thoracotomy & drainage [2],decortication [1],and right lower lobectomy[3]. The average duration of the post-operative course was 19.6 days. There was no operative mortality.

  • Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as a leading pathogen that causes pyogenic liver abscesses (PLAs) in Korea. K. pneumoniae liver abscess (KLA) is potentially life threatening, and the diagnosis is difficult. In developed countries, PLA is rarely observed in children and is frequently associated with disorders of granulocyte function and previous abdominal infection. We observed a case of KLA in a healthy 12-year-old boy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of KLA in an immunocompetent child without an underlying disease in Korea. The patient was treated with percutaneous catheter drainage and antibiotics. The catheter was placed in the intrahepatic abscess for 3 weeks and parenteral antibiotics (ceftriaxone and amikacin) were administered for 4 weeks, followed by oral antibiotics (cefixime) for 2 weeks. We reported this case to raise awareness of KLA in immunocompetent children among physicians, and to review the diagnosis, risk factors, potential complications, and appropriate treatment of KLA.

  • 신생아 간농양은 특별한 증상이 발현되지 않거나 비특이적인 증상 때문에 진단이 늦어지는 경우가 많다. 항생제의 사용에도 불구하고 염증 반응이 지속되며 복부증상이 함께 나타나는 경우, 주산기 산모의 심한 감염, 융모양막염 등의 선행인자가 있고, 제대혈관 도관과 관련된 패혈증이 있는 경우에는 간농양의 가능성을 고려해야 한다. 저자들은 생후 9일된 미숙아에서 제대정맥 도관과 함께 산모의 폐렴 및 심한 융모양막염이 선행요인이 되어, 단일성 간농양이 발생한 진단된 사례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
