Overview
Historical Perspective
Hippocrates described pyogenic liver abscess based on the type of fluid recovered from abscess. In 1938, Ocshner and colleagues reported that the major causal factors leading to hepatic abscess were appendicitis and amoebiasis.[1]
Classification
Pyogenic liver abscess may be classified according to international classification of diseases-10 (ICD-10) into K75.0.[2].
Pathophysiology
Development of pyogenic liver abscess is the result of infection through the following routes like portal vein (also from pyelophlebitis of portal vein), hepatic arteries as metastatic abscesses, direct spread from nearby infection, trauma and retroperitoneal extension from appendix.[3][1][4][5]Ascending biliary infection is the most common source of pyogenic liver abscess.
Causes
Common causes of pyogenic liver abscess include hepatobiliary, portal, arterial, traumatic and cryptogenic causes.
