Abstract:There has been a gradual change in the pattern of presentation of pyogenic liver abscess with an increasing incidence in the elderly. At the same time an improvement in mortality with early diagnosis and treatment has been recognised. We describe two patients in whom the diagnosis of liver abscess was not suspected until autopsy in one and aspiration of pus during biopsy of a liver "tumour" in the other.
