Multiple abscesses of the liver caused by Campylobacter jejuni.
A 37-year-old woman developed multiple liver abscesses caused by Campylobacter jejuni, as a consequence of unrecognized and inadequately treated Campylobacter enteritis. The diagnosis was established by isolation of Campylobacter jejuni from blood and pus obtained from one of the liver abscesses during laparoscopy. The abscesses were successfully treated with intravenously and orally administrated antibiotic drugs, without further percutaneous drainage.
