Pyogenic liver abscess and Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome: not a rare association

Maha Almuneef et al. Pediatrics. 2003 Jan.

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disease comprising palmoplantar keratoderma and periodontitis. Pyogenic liver abscess is an increasingly recognized complication. We report a new case of this association and review the current literature.
