title: [Multiple hepatic abscesses: a pediatric case report].
abstract: The Authors describe the case of an immunologically healthy 14 year old boy presenting a hepatic infection with multiple abscesses. This case is of particular interest because of its rarity in Pediatrics. Probable etiologies, pathogenic mechanisms and treatments are discussed. The Authors underline the usefulness of ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool and as a non-invasive means of following the course of the disease.
