[Hepatic abscess treated conservatively]

A woman, aged 76, was admitted to the Internal Medicine Ward because of severe general state, marked dehydration and high pyrexia of ten-day duration. The executed diagnostics, among others USG and CT, allowed to give the diagnosis of single hepatic abscess. The patient did not consent to the lesion puncture and due to that conservative treatment was initiated. She was administered Augmentin, Gentamycin and Metronidazole parenterally. In consequence of the treatment complete recovery, confirmed in control USG and CT, was obtained.
