Pyogenic liver abscess is a rare but serious pregnancy complication. Consider this diagnosis for pregnant patients with fever, upper abdominal pain, and liver enlargement.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is uncommon, particularly during pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy presents unique challenges for diagnosing and managing intra-abdominal infections.

Observation:

  • This report details the first documented case of a pyogenic liver abscess occurring during pregnancy.
  • The patient presented with typical symptoms including fever, hepatomegaly, and upper abdominal pain.

Findings:

  • Prompt diagnosis is crucial for favorable outcomes in pregnancy-associated PLA.
  • Management involves appropriate antibiotic therapy and, if necessary, abscess drainage.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for PLA in pregnant women with compatible symptoms.
