Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess.
Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GPLA) is an uncommon and potentially fatal disease that represents 7-24% of pyogenic liver abscess cases. Diabetes mellitus is a wellknown risk factor, and the main etiological agent is Klebsiella pneumoniae. Escherichia coli is also associated with gas formation, particularly in the presence of biliary disorders. In South America, parasitic diseases have bee...
متن کاملGas-Forming Pyogenic Liver Abscess with Septic Shock
The pyogenic liver abscess caused by Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is a rare but rapidly fatal infection. The main virulence factor of this pathogen is its α-toxin (lecithinase), which decomposes the phospholipid in cell membranes leading to cell lysis. Once the bacteria are in blood stream, massive intravascular hemolysis occurs. This can present as anemia on admission with evidence...

متن کاملFatal gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is an uncommon disease with an annual incidence rate ranging from two to 45 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions worldwide. Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) is even rarer, which accounts for 7% to 24% of PLA. It is reported that GFPLA only accounted for less than 4% of all PLA over an eight-year period in a local hospital of Brunei. Here we present a rare...
متن کاملGas-forming pyogenic liver abscess: A world review
Backgrounds/Aims Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) has an incidence of up to 30% of all pyogenic liver abscesses (PLA). GFPLA has higher mortality compared to non-GFPLA. Mere presence of gas within abscess may not determine clinical outcome. Hence it is important to study biologic characteristics that make GFPLA a distinct clinical entity. The aim of this study was to conduct a world r...
