Main Article Content
Abstract
Liver abscess (HA) remains a serious and often difficult to manage problem. Infectious abscesses include those secondary to the direct extension of local infection, systemic bacteremia, and intra-abdominal infections that seed the portal system. However, over the years, the etiologies and risk factors for HA have continued to evolve. This work aims to carry out a bibliographic review regarding the approach of liver abscesses. This is a literature review, using studies published between 2020 and 2023 and indexed in the PUBMED database. Thus, studies were selected for this review using the search strategy, using keywords (MeSH): 'classification' AND 'diagnosis' AND 'treatment' AND 'liver abscess'. Immediate recognition is important to institute effective management and obtain good results.
