    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Pyogenic liver abscesses are uncommon but serious infections.
    • Multiple abscesses indicate a more complex clinical presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present three cases of multiple pyogenic liver abscesses.
    • To highlight the causative pathogen and treatment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation.
    • Microbiological analysis of pus and blood cultures.
    • Clinical management including surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Streptococcus milleri was identified as the causative agent in all three cases.
    • S. milleri was also detected in blood cultures in two patients.
    • All patients achieved successful recovery following treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Streptococcus milleri is a significant pathogen in pyogenic liver abscesses.
    • Prompt diagnosis and combined treatment of surgical drainage and antibiotics are effective.
