Unusual Fusobacterium Nucleatum Infection Presenting as a Liver Abscess Associated With Cephalic Vein Thrombosis.

Pyogenic liver abscesses are uncommon entities with potentially devastating consequences requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment. Fusobacterium nucleatum is an anaerobic, gram-negative oral commensal that has been seldom reported as a cause of liver abscess, particularly in immunocompetent hosts. We describe a case of an 80-year-old female patient presenting with a fusobacterium liver abscess associated with thrombosis of the left cephalic vein.
