==Zika sexual transmission==
The mainstay of therapy for pyogenic liver abscesses is [[percutaneous]] drainage and antimicrobial therapy.  Empiric therapy for pyogenic [[liver]] [[abscesses]] consists of either a second- or third-generation [[cephalosporin]] with [[metronidazole]] or [[piperacillin-tazobactam]]. [[Amoebiasis|Amebic liver abscesses]] are often treated medically with a short course of [[metronidazole]] or [[tinidazole]] followed by 20 days of [[iodoquinol]].

The mainstay of therapy for pyogenic liver abscesses is percutaneous drainage and antimicrobial therapy. Empiric therapy for pyogenic liver abscesses consists of either a second- or third-generation cephalosporin with metronidazole or piperacillin-tazobactam. Amebic liver abscesses are often treated medically with a short course of metronidazole or tinidazole followed by 20 days of iodoquinol.

Medical Therapy

  • It is essential to differentiate between pyogenic and amebic liver abscesses for appropriate therapy. Differentiation can be established based on serology, culture results, and response to therapy.[1]
  • The mainstay of therapy for pyogenic hepatic abscesses is ultrasound/CT-guided percutaneous drainage with at least 2 weeks (may last up to 6 weeks) of intravenous antibiotics.[2]
  • Empiric antibiotics should only be used initially, with diagnostic aspiration and culture performed as soon as possible.
  • Amebic liver abscesses can be treated successfully with antimicrobial agents and do not require drainage except in special conditions, such as:[3]
  • Severe clinical illness
  • Uncertain diagnosis
  • No response to metronidazole therapy (after 4 days of treatment)
  • Large left-lobe abscesses (risk of rupture into pericardium)
  • Imminent rupture

Antibiotic Regimens

  • Pyogenic Liver Abscess
  • Preferred regimen (1): (Ceftriaxone 1-2 g IV/IM q24h OR Cefotaxime 1-2 g IV or IM q8h) AND (Metronidazole 15 mg/kg IV single dose THEN 7.5 mg/kg PO/IV q6h)
  • Preferred regimen (2): Ciprofloxacin 400 mg IV q12h AND (Metronidazole 15 mg/kg IV single dose THEN 7.5 mg/kg PO/IV q6h)
  • Preferred regimen (3): Piperacillin-Tazobactam 3.375 g IV q6h
  • Note: The empiric therapy for pyogenic abscesses should be based on local resistance patterns, with particular attention to resistant Klebsiella spp.. Ampicillin is not recommended due to the high resistance found among Klebsiella spp.. There is no set duration for treatment, which may vary from 2 to 6 weeks.
