Abstract:
A 50-year-old woman was admitted with abdominal pain, vomiting, fever and diarrhoea. She had increased white blood cell count and increased level of liver enzymes. A CT scan revealed 13 abscesses in the liver and tests showed Streptococcus angin-osus. Investigation showed no entry point for bacteria. The woman underwent laparoscopic investigation, and the absces-ses were completely drained preoperatively without installation of catheter in spite of large abscess formations. After 26 days of admittance with antibiotic treatment she was discharged and check-up revealed no re-formation of the abscesses.
