A pyogenic liver abscess secondary to appendicitis infection is a rare manifestation that has not been well illustrated in the United States due to its infrequency and the variability of each clinical presentation. Here, we discuss a 55-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, fever, chills, and weight loss and was found to have a pyogenic liver abscess suspected secondary to radiographic-proven acute appendicitis. The purpose of this article is to describe a patient who presented with noteworthy clinical features and a rare cause of hepatic abscess, to aid in the treatment and diagnosis of future patients.
阑尾炎感染继发的化脓性肝脓肿是一种罕见的表现,由于其在美国的发病率较低且每个临床表现存在变异性,因而尚未得到充分阐述。在此,我们讨论一名55岁男性,他出现腹痛、发热、寒战和体重减轻,经影像学证实为急性阑尾炎,怀疑继发化脓性肝脓肿。本文的目的是描述一名具有显著临床特征和罕见肝脓肿病因的患者,以帮助未来患者的治疗和诊断。
