“…There are several studies and case reports in humans of hepatic abscess recurrence following percutaneous or surgical drainage, which were resolved with repeated drainage or hepatectomy and appropriate antimicrobial therapy. [3][4][5][6][7][8] A study by Mohsen et al reported that the primary predictor of recurrence of abscesses in people was underlying malignancy. 8 Wang et al found an association in people between the recurrence of a hepatic abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and extended spectrum β-lactamase production.…”

A 10‐year‐old, male, neutered, mixed breed dog was diagnosed with septic peritonitis secondary to a liver abscess. Left lateral and medial liver lobectomies were performed and histopathology revealed an incompletely excised hepatocellular adenoma with multifocal septic, suppurative (neutrophilic) inflammation. Eight months later, the dog was presented again and was found to have septic peritonitis. Computed tomography showed recurrent right hepatic abscessation. Abdominal explore and right medial liver lobectomy were performed. Following surgery, disseminated intravascular coagulation was suspected, the patient declined in neurologic and respiratory status. The owner elected humane euthanasia. Postmortem examination showed locally extensive pyogranulomatous hepatitis with necrosis and intralesional rod bacteria, and recurrent hepatocellular adenoma. This case represents recurrence of hepatic abscessation in a dog, 8 months after the first liver lobectomy. This case report highlights clinical findings associated with septic peritonitis secondary to hepatic abscessation and discusses diagnostic and treatment options explored in veterinary and human medicine.

The aim: To conduct an analysis of the results of a microbiological examination of biological samples taken from patients with intra-abdominal abscesses. Materials and methods: Material for microbiological examination was collected from 60 patients during surgery and transported to laboratory at the same day. Isolation and identification of microbial pure cultures were performed by standard microbiological methods. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica software. Results: Analyzing the microbiological research results indicated importance of the sample collecting time (first or repeated surgery). In pa¬tient’s blood taken during first surgery it was found a statistically significant predominance of no growth of microflora. In abdominal cav¬ity exudates anaerobic cultures increased statistically significantly in repeated surgery. It was noted that in samples taken during first sur¬gery mixed pathogens were represented mainly by facultative anaerobic cocci, then in repeated surgery anaerobic microorganisms were predominant. Examination of liver abscess content found that monoculture was isolated in 85.7 %. Blood and affected tissue samples in such patients were sterile. Investigation of samples from patients with multiple abdominal cavity abscesses revealed anaerobic microorganisms in 16.7 %. Blood samples of that patients in 40 % were sterile. Conclusions: An analysis showed that in appendicular abscesses content gram-negatives were predominant. Gram-positive bacteria dominated in paravesical abscesses with 65 % isolates from gallbladder and 66.7 % from the affected tissue samples. In liver abscesses gram-positive cocci were isolated in 57.1 %. In multiple abdominal abscesses due to bowel perforation rod-shaped microflora was predominant (76 %) and represented by either obligate aerobes or obligate and facultative anaerobes.
