Abstract:
We report a case of liver abscess secondary to an asymptomatic, subacute appendicitis in a 51-year-old man. The general condition of the patient was altered but there were no gastrointestinal signs. Treatment consisted in broad-spectrum antibiotics, followed by surgical drainage of the abscess and appendicectomy.
