Abstract

The first case of gas-containing liver abscesses converting from total gas content to gas and fluid content is reported, and the clinical significance of such a conversion is emphasised. A 58-year-old diabetic woman suffered from fever and chill due to totally gas-containing liver abscesses shown by computerised tomography (CT). The patient did not recover despite ultrasound-guided aspiration of the abscess. CT carried out 2 weeks later revealed that the initial totally gas-containing liver abscesses converted to ones with gas and fluid content. The patient recovered after CT-guided drainage of the abscesses.
