    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Hepatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Neonatal hepatic abscess is a rare and severe condition.
    • Only 24 cases were previously reported in medical literature.
    • This study adds 13 new cases to the existing data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on additional cases of neonatal hepatic abscess.
    • To identify associated factors and common etiologies.
    • To discuss management strategies for neonatal liver abscesses.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of clinical data for 13 neonatal patients with hepatic abscess.
    • Analysis of associated conditions, causative agents, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The study presents 13 new cases of neonatal hepatic abscess.
    • Commonly associated factors include sepsis, vessel cannulation, and abdominal surgery.
    • Abscesses were frequently multiple and involved other organs, necessitating antibiotic therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Neonatal hepatic abscess is a critical diagnosis requiring prompt recognition.
    • Multiple abscesses typically require supportive and antibiotic treatment.
    • Solitary hepatic abscesses present a potential surgical management opportunity.
