Successful management of noncirrhotic hyperammonemia syndrome after kidney transplantation from putative Ureaplasma infection.

Noncirrhotic hyperammonemia (NCH) is a rare but often fatal complication of solid organ transplantation.

Clostridium paraputrificum septicemia and liver abscess.

We report the first case of a healthy 23-year-old female who underwent an interventional radiology-guided embolization of a hepatic adenoma, which resulted in a gas forming hepatic liver abscess and septicemia by . A retrospective review of Clostridial liver abscesses was performed using a PubMed literature search, and we found 57 clostridial hepatic abscess cases. The two most commonly reported clostridial species are and (64.
