Pyogenic liver abscess is a pus-filled pocket of fluid within the liver. Pyogenic means producing pus.

Pyogenic abscess
A liver abscess can develop from several different sources, including a blood infection, an abdominal infection, or an abdominal injury which has been become infected. The most common infecting bacteria include E coli, enterococcus, staphylococcus, and streptococcus. Treatment is usually a combination of drainage and prolonged antibiotic therapy.

Digestive system organs
The digestive system organs in the abdominal cavity include the liver, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine and large intestine.

Digestive system
The esophagus, stomach, large and small intestine, aided by the liver, gallbladder and pancreas convert the nutritive components of food into energy and break down the non-nutritive components into waste to be excreted.

Causes

Abdominal infection, such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, or a perforated bowel
Infection in the blood
Infection of the bile draining tubes
Recent endoscopy of the bile draining tubes
Trauma that damages the liver
A number of common bacteria may cause liver abscesses. In most cases, more than one type of bacteria is found.

Chest pain (lower right)
Pain in the right upper abdomen (more common) or throughout the abdomen (less common)
Clay-colored stools
Dark urine
Fever, chills, night sweats
