A 76-year-old woman recovered from a severe hepatic abscess using conservative antibiotic treatment. Imaging confirmed complete resolution without invasive procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Hepatic abscesses require prompt diagnosis and effective treatment.
  • Surgical intervention or percutaneous drainage are common treatment modalities.
  • Conservative management may be considered in select cases.

Observation:

  • A 76-year-old female presented with severe illness, dehydration, and prolonged fever.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT), revealed a single hepatic abscess.
  • The patient declined a percutaneous drainage procedure.

Findings:

  • Parenteral antibiotic therapy with Augmentin, Gentamycin, and Metronidazole was initiated.
  • The patient showed a complete clinical recovery.

  • Follow-up USG and CT scans confirmed the resolution of the hepatic abscess.

    • Implications:

    • Conservative antibiotic management can be a viable alternative to invasive procedures for hepatic abscesses in select patients.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering non-invasive treatment options.
    • Effective antibiotic selection is crucial for successful conservative management of hepatic abscesses.
