Abstract

Background: liver abscess as an inflammatory lesion predominantly caused by ALA and PLA, with ALA being more prevalent in India. It discusses the transmission of Entamoeba histolytica and emphasizes the importance of recognizing unusual variants of ALA due to their association with complications. The section also mentions the occurrence of liver abscess in different lobes of the liver and the benign nature of ALA in the absence of poor prognostic markers. Figure 1 Description: A suggested algorithm for the management of liver abscess is presented in Figure 1, although specific details are not provided in the text. Methodology: The study is designed as a case report and conducted in the Department of OBGY at Rohilkhand Medical College And Hospital, Bareilly. Case Report: This section details a case of a 32-year-old pregnant patient presenting with fever, fatigue, and right upper quadrant pain. The patient's clinical examination, laboratory findings (including blood tests and ultrasound), and the development of tachycardia and tachypnea during hospitalization are described. The ultrasound findings suggest a liver abscess. The patient's subsequent treatment in the ICU and the birth of a healthy neonate are also reported. Figure 2 Description: An abdominal ultrasound image shows the calcified wall of the abscess in a 32-week pregnant woman, as depicted in Figure 2. Conclusion: The conclusion highlights the rarity but critical importance of considering liver abscess as a potential cause of sepsis or septic shock in pregnant patients. It recommends ultrasonographic evaluation of the liver in such cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
