Clinicopathological presentation of liver abscesses and hydatid liver disease from two South African tertiary hospitals
In this study, the most common type of liver abscess was PLAs of biliary origin in middle-aged males. The microbiology was similar to those described in Asian populations, and non-surgical management <i>via</i> percutaneous drainage was sufficient in the majority of cases with acceptable morbidity and mortality.
