Abstract:
Approximately 90% of patients with autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) suffer from mild infections although neutrophil count often decreases to <500/μL. Here, we report 2 cases of infant pyogenic liver abscess complicated with AIN. We should consider the possibility of AIN as an underlying disease when diagnosing pyogenic liver abscess during childhood.

Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...
