A perforated peptic ulcer led to a liver abscess caused by Streptococcus milleri. Prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment, including Piperacillin/Tazobactam and Ceftriaxone, were crucial for patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Liver abscesses are serious infections requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment.
  • Streptococcus milleri is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe infections.
  • Perforated peptic ulcers can lead to intra-abdominal abscesses.

Observation:

  • A 49-year-old patient presented with fever and jaundice, indicative of a liver infection.
  • Imaging revealed multiple liver lesions and an abscess in the bursa omentalis.
  • Blood and abscess cultures identified Streptococcus milleri.

Findings:

  • CT-guided drainage successfully removed the abscess fluid.
  • The patient received a 10-day course of broad-spectrum antibiotics, including Piperacillin/Tazobactam and Ceftriaxone.

  • A perforated peptic ulcer was identified as the likely source of infection.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering gastrointestinal pathology in liver abscess etiology.
    • Early recognition and multidisciplinary management are key to favorable outcomes.
    • Appropriate antibiotic selection and source control are essential for treating complex infections.
