The clinical symptoms of liver abscess are non-specific and are similar to other hepatobiliary inflammatory processes and infections. The focus of purulent inflammation of the hepatic parenchyma is more often solitary (single), but in some pathologies - in the case of the formation of concrements in the liver, with cholangiogenic origin of the foci of infection, with extraintestinal amebiasis - multiple abscesses of the liver may occur. It is much less likely to diagnose a liver abscess of a fungal etiology (candida, aspergillus) that develops after chemotherapy of malignant neoplasms in the organs of the abdominal cavity or leukemia in patients with severely weakened immunity. It has been established that amoebic liver abscess can occur without the previous history of amoebic colitis and dysentery, that is, the infection can manifest itself in months and even years after amoeba invasion. As a result of necrosis of deprived nutrition of hepatocytes, a chronic liver abscess is formed. Amoebs invade the intestinal mucosa and can access the portal vein system and then penetrate into the liver tissue, where they transform into the form of tropho-isotides and clog the hepatic capillaries. Infection occurs by the fecal-oral route in endemic regions (tropics and subtropics).

In particular, with liver damage, dysenteric amoeba (Entamaeba histolytica) develops amoebic liver abscess (ICD-10 code - A06.4) or extraintestinal dysenteric amoebiasis of the liver. In addition, the causes of liver abscess can be associated with the invasion of parasites (ascarids, echinococcus or dysentery amoeba). Among their causes, in addition to the violation of the patency of the bile ducts due to the presence of stones in them, narrowing of the lumen (stenosis and stricture) of the channels of iatrogenic origin is noted: after the bile-hepatic surgical interventions, as well as the use of medicines (eg, steroids or cytostatics). When the same bacteria enter the liver from the gallbladder (the primary focus of infectious inflammation) through the extrahepatic bile ducts, doctors determine biliary or cholangiogenic liver abscesses. This is how the bacterial abscesses of the liver develop. In the liver, the multiplication of bacteria continues, which leads to the death of parenchyma cells and the necrosis of its individual areas with the formation of an infiltrate then the infiltrate is melted and a cavity filled with pus surrounded by a fibrous capsule is formed. Faecalis, Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium welchii, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacteroides Spp.) Migrating from the outbreak primary inflammation with a blood flow in the form of a septic embolus. And pathogenesis is associated with the ingestion of microbes into the liver (mainly E. Pyogenic or purulent liver abscess (code K75.0 for ICD-10) always has an infectious etiology. Also, liver abscess can be a consequence of rupture of an inflamed appendix, perforation of a stomach ulcer or sigmoid colon with diverticulosis ulcerative colitis pyogenic inflammation of the portal vein Crohn's disease general infection of blood cholangiocarcinomas colorectal cancer or malignant tumor of the pancreas suppuration of liver cysts or organ trauma. Experts call as the most common cause of liver abscess stones in the gallbladder and arising on their background cholecystitis or cholangitis.
