liver abscess

A liver abscess is a localized pocket of infection in the liver, caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites. It results in the formation of pus—a thick mixture of dead cells and germs—within the liver tissue. Symptoms can include fever, abdominal pain, tenderness, and feeling tired. It often occurs due to infections spreading from other parts of the body or from bile flow issues. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics or drainage are essential to prevent serious complications. While serious, most liver abscesses respond well to medical care.
