Symptoms of liver abscess after treatment

summary

Liver abscess is an infectious disease in which the liver is infected by bacteria or amoeba (a parasite), causing local tissue destruction and suppuration. Among them, bacterial liver abscess is the most common, accounting for about 80% of liver abscess. Therefore, what we usually call "liver abscess" generally refers to bacterial liver abscess. Is liver cyst and liver abscess a disease? Liver cyst and liver abscess are not the same disease. Hepatic cyst is a benign disease of the liver, which can be divided into parasitic (such as hepatic echinococcosis) and non parasitic hepatic cyst. Nonparasitic hepatic cysts can be divided into congenital, traumatic, inflammatory and neoplastic cysts. The most common is congenital hepatic cyst. Liver abscess is an infectious disease in which the liver is infected by bacteria or amoeba (a parasite), causing local tissue destruction and suppuration. Among them, bacterial liver abscess is the most common, and the abscess caused by amoeba infection is not a liver cyst. Let's take a look.

Symptoms of liver abscess after treatment

Amebic liver abscesses often occur in warm and tropical areas, often secondary to intestinal amebic (a parasite) infection. Intestinal infection of amoeba can "run" to the liver through blood and lymph, and can also directly "pass" through the intestine to the liver, causing infection, leading to local liver damage and pyogenesis, thus forming liver abscess.

Biliary tract infection: such as biliary Ascaris, bile duct stones complicated with suppurative cholangitis, biliary tract infection is the main cause of bacterial liver abscess. Infections in other parts of the body, such as suppurative osteomyelitis, otitis media, bacillary dysentery, etc., may "run" to the liver with the blood, causing liver infection and suppuration. It can cause liver abscess.

Chills, fever. Abdominal pain, mainly liver area (right upper abdomen) pain. Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite. Jaundice, when infection complicated with biliary obstruction can appear jaundice, performance for skin, white eyes, urine yellow. Not all symptoms will appear, the specific symptoms vary from person to person.

matters needing attention

Prevention of amebic liver abscess is mainly to prevent amebic infection, pay attention to personal hygiene, do not eat dirty food, bacterial liver abscess is a secondary disease, early treatment of biliary tract infection or systemic primary lesions can reduce the occurrence of liver abscess. Diabetic patients are prone to bacterial liver abscess, good control of blood glucose is conducive to prevention.
