Successful Multidisciplinary Treatment of Severe Pyogenic Liver Abscess Caused by Fish Bone: A Case Report.

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a potentially fatal infection that can lead to sepsis and shock. Among the various causes of PLA, ingestion of foreign bodies such as fish bones is relatively rare. Unless there are specific symptoms such as painful swallowing, patients rarely remember having ingested foreign bodies, making it often difficult to identify the cause of PLA. In addition, the treatment strategy and perspectives for PLA caused by foreign bodies are controversial. Herein, we present a successful case of multidisciplinary treatment for sepsis due to a PLA caused by a fish bone with a literature review.
