“…Therefore, we presumed that bacterial transmission from the oral cavity to the liver via the arterial flow was the cause of the liver abscesses, although the involvement of a biliary tract infection cannot be excluded. An immunocompromised status, such as that associated with diabetes mellitus and malignancy, is reported to be a risk factor for PLA (10). However, among previously reported cases of PLA derived from dental disease, only two of 11 patients had an immunocompromised status (Table), including one case of dysfunction of B-cells and one case of diabetes.…”

Among the etiologies of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA), bacterial spread from the biliary tract or portal flow is the major cause, while the onset of PLA due to arterial bacterial transmission is rare. We herein report two cases of PLA thought to be caused by arterial transmission from dental disease. In both cases, there was benign biliary stricture as a result of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis, although normal oral flora was detected as the causative bacteria and oral hygiene was poor in both patients. We presumed that the origin of PLA was dental disease and successfully treated the patients with percutaneous drainage, antibiotics and dental procedures.

“…CT scan and ultrasound-guided drainage of pyogenic liver abscesses are safe and effective methods of treatment [7] . Liver transplantation, diabetes and a history of malignancy are risk factors for pyogenic liver abscess [8] . Dental diseases or procedures are very rare etiological factors of liver abscesses.…”

Pyogenic liver abscesses are rare but a life-threatening important condition. Dental procedures constitute only rare cases of pyogenic liver abscesses, with only a few cases in the literature. We report a patient with liver abscess following a dental procedure. A 74 years old diabetic male patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of fatigue, 40 ℃ fever, rigors and right upper quadrant pain, 3-4 d after a dental procedure. Physical examination revealed fever and tenderness in the right upper quadrant. Laboratory examination revealed leucocytosis, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein and moderately elevated transaminases. An abscess was detected in radiological examination in the medial part of the left lobe of liver, neighboring the gall bladder. He was successfully treated with percutaneous abscess drainage and antibiotherapy.

“…Nuestros pacientes presentaron un cuadro clínico mal definido, lo cual ya ha sido señalado por otros autores (2,8,10,15,16). Esta indefinición podría explicar el retraso en el diagnóstico (3,5), que no fue excesivo en nuestro caso.…”

“…Los bajos porcentajes de recuperación se han atribuido a varias circunstancias: tratamiento ATB previo, defectos en la toma de muestras, en las técnicas de transporte y de aislamiento, etc. (3,8,13,15,16). Así mismo, el porcentaje de HC positivos se encuentra en el rango de otras publicaciones (30-86%) (11,14), incluso en nuestro país (44-86%) (11,17,18).…”

INTRODUCCIÓNLos AH representan el 13% de los abscesos abdominales y el 48% de los viscerales (1). Su incidencia (5-20 casos/100.000 ingresos hospitalarios) permanece estable hasta la década de los años 70. Desde entonces, la incidencia se duplica (2,3), por varias razones: tratamientos inmunosupresores en pacientes oncológicos y en transplantados, manejo más agresivo de las enfermedades hepatobiliares y gran eficacia diagnóstica de ecografía (ECO), tomografía computarizada (TAC) y resonancia magnética abdominales (2-4).A pesar de todo, la mortalidad por AH ha disminuido, debido al diagnóstico precoz, la utilización de antibióticos más eficaces y el drenaje percutáneo mediante control de ECO o TAC (2-5).Por último, en la literatura médica consultada, existen estudios que intentan determinar factores predisponentes o de riesgo para padecer un AH así como factores pronósticos.
