Ana I Piqueras et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2016 Jul.

Abstract

Liver abscess is a serious condition that is uncommon in otherwise normal children. Predisposing factors include immunosuppression, surgery and travel to certain areas. We present a patient with liver abscess 4 months after appendectomy. In addition, we reviewed 7 cases of liver abscess that occurred in a 22-year period.
