    This case report details primary hepatic actinomycosis, a rare liver infection. Early diagnosis using imaging and blood cultures led to successful antibiotic treatment, avoiding surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Primary hepatic actinomycosis is a rare infection caused by Actinomyces bacteria.
    • It often presents with non-specific symptoms, making diagnosis challenging.

    Observation:

    • A 60-year-old male presented with fever and multiple liver abscesses.
    • Non-invasive imaging techniques including ultrasonography, CT, and radioisotope scans were used for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Actinomyces israelii was identified in anaerobic blood cultures, confirming the diagnosis.
    • The infection was confined to the liver, with no other sites involved.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering actinomycosis in liver abscesses.
