Abstract
Abstract
The high mortality rate from pyogenic liver abscess is contributed to by delay in diagnosis. The widespread availability of radio-isotope liver scanning facilitates diagnosis once A hepatic abscess is suspected. This retrospective study identifies diagnostic features present at the time of admission to hospital in 28 patients who were subsequently found to have a hepatic abscess.
