Liver abscess as a complication of acute Lyme disease: a case report

This is a report of a patient who presented with acute Lyme disease and was found to have a liver abscess as part of evaluation of abnormal liver test abnormalities. He had had a prior ultrasound 8 months previously as part of evaluation for a potential abdominal aneurysm and no abscess had been noted at that time. No other cause for the abscess was found, and the abscess resolved with coincident antibiotic treatment for his Lyme disease.
