Liver abscesses are poorly known in sickle cell disease. We report here multiple liver abscesses occurring in a 17-year-old patient with hemoglobin SC disease. A Fusobacterium nucleatum was identified on cyst puncture. Such complications have been described in only 11 children and young adults with hemoglobin SS/Sβ-thalassemia diseases. Fusobacterium species are the most frequent pathogens reported and require anaerobic culture to be identified.
肝脓肿在镰状细胞病中鲜为人知。我们在此报告一名17岁血红蛋白SC病患者发生的多发性肝脓肿。在囊肿穿刺时鉴定出具核梭杆菌。此类并发症仅在11例血红蛋白SS/Sβ地中海贫血病的儿童和青年中有所描述。梭杆菌属是报告中最常见的病原体,需要通过厌氧培养来鉴定。
