PURPOSE: Recently there have been some reports that percutaneous absces drainage(PAD) was ineffective in treating multiloculated liver abscess. We therefae, reviewed our results of catheter drainage in jultiloculated liver absces. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PADs in 10 cases of multiloculated liver abscesses were performed with 8.5F Pig tail, 12 & 14F Sump cahteters, under ultrasonic & fluoroscopic guidance. RESULTS: All the 10 cases were successfully drained without major complications. Mean drainage duration was 16.3 day and the result was not significantly different from those obtained by draining unilocular pyogenic liver abscess. The success was the result of using large caliber catheter and repetition in insertion of guidewire deeply into abscess cavity to make communications between the Iocules which was proven by abscessogram. CONCLUSION: PAD was safe and effective method for multiloculated abscess as unilocular liver abscess, and it is recommended that the multiloculated liver abscess be draincd.

Patients with the microbial hepatic abscess in the digestive department of Viet Tiep hospital during 1995-1999 participated to a study. The methods included the clinical examination, hematologic tests, X-ray, ultrasound and pus test. The results have shown that fever: 100%, hepatodynia: 75%, hepatomegaly and hepatodynia: 50%, eye yellow: 50%, positive hepatic shaking: 41%, anemia: 41%, the moderate and severe anemia: 58.2%, leucocyte of 9.1x10g/l: 91.6%, increase of total bilirubine: 50%, plus had a offensive smell suspected due to anaerobic microorganism: 33.34%, 1 focus of abscess: 10 patients; 2 focuses of abscess: 2 patients, the shortest duration of treatment: 5 days and longest duration of treatment: 31 days. The conclusions: the clinical and paraclinical features suggested the microbial hepatic abscess; treatment by high effective antibiotics and needle aspiration of plus; the surgical treatment for cases with many focus of abscess.

Objectives: To describe the clinical profile of children with hepatic abscess, determine their laboratory & imaging findings, medical and surgical treatments and study factors affecting its outcome. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study done in December 2016 on children 0 to Demographic, clinical and diagnostic data were correlated with the outcome and presence of complications. Results: Thirty cases were identified in 19 years but only 25 charts were available for review. Mean age in years was 5.27 +/- 4.80 SD with male predominance. Fever (96%) and abdominal pain (60%) were common symptoms.Only 9 patients had hepatic abscess culture with Staphylococcus aureus (56%) as the most frequent growth. Anemia (76%) and leukocytosis (96%), and solitary (76%), large abscess >5 cms (60%) involving the right lobe (72%), were the common diagnostic findings. Most were treated with antibiotics alone (60%).All patients improved with no mortality noted, while pleural effusion was seen in 8 out of 12 patients with complications. Only male gender was significantly associated with complications both on chi-square (p0.004) and logistic regression (p 0.008). Conclusion Hepatic abscess is a liver infection usually seen among young and male population, manifesting as fever with anemia and leucocytosis. Most were complicated by pleural effusion with no deaths reported. Male gender had significant association with complications.
