Abstract:
Percutaneous drainage of liver abscess is an effective treatment, but the success rate is low for liver abscess that has septa and is multilocular. We experienced one case of successful treatment of multilocular liver abscess using administration of Urokinase into an abscess cavity during the course of percutaneous drainage.
