[Multiple liver abscesses caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum infection]

A case of multiple liver abscesses caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum infection is presented. In cases with fever of unknown origin and biochemical signs of derangement of hepatic function, it is recommended that an abdominal scan is performed. Before initiating antibiotic treatment relevant specimens should be collected. Finally we describe how the use of resin-containing blood culture medium enhance the possibility of bacterial detection in patients receiving antibiotics.
