We report a case of early gastric cancer that was detected during surveillance of a pyogenic liver abscess caused by Streptococcus intermedius, an oral microbiota. Treatment with proton pump inhibitors can result in the alteration of gastric bacterial flora by altering intragastric acidity. This can place immunocompromised patients, such as those with diabetes mellitus and the elderly, at an increased risk for disease of the upper gastrointestinal tract to be a route of bacterial transmission. In this case, the patient developed a pyogenic liver abscess.

Background: Hepatogastric fistula (HGF) is an uncommon occurrence that can be associated with various medical conditions. The primary causes typically involve peptic ulcer disease, infections (such as pyogenic, amoebic or tuberculosis), or iatrogenic factors (like post transarterial chemoembolization or radiotherapy). Massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage following HGF is extremely rare, with iodine-125 (I) seed migration to the stomach through HGF not previously documented.

Bacterial liver parenchymal infections in dogs are rarely documented, and their imaging characteristics are scarce in the veterinary literature, especially in Computed Tomography (CT). This retrospective multicentric study aimed to describe the CT characteristics of parenchymal bacterial liver infection and abscessation in dogs and compare them with the human literature. Twenty dogs met the inclusion criteria.

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a serious infectious disease with high mortality. The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of percutaneous needle aspiration (PNA) and percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) for PLA and to assess risk factors for unfavorable prognosis. This retrospective study was performed between 2017 to 2019 in a Chinese tertiary care hospital.

Objective: This study aimed to summarize the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) and to explore the clinical features of PLA with extrahepatic migratory infection (EMI).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 1800 PLA patients at Jilin University First Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of EMI: with EMI and without EMI.

Background: Investigating the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) complicated by infective endocarditis (IE), this study draws on a successfully treated case of PLA caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, alongside a literature review of similar cases.
Case Summary: We report a 50-year-old male with type 2 diabetes who presented with acute fever, chills, and a liver abscess. The patient was initially treated with intravenous ceftriaxone (2 g daily).
