Coming soonA Peptostreptococcus liver abscess is a localized, suppurative pyogenic infection of the hepatic parenchyma caused predominantly or polymicrobially by anaerobic Gram-positive cocci of the genus *Peptostreptococcus*.
It arises within the hepatobiliary system, most commonly secondary to ascending biliary tract infections, direct contiguous spread, or hematogenous seeding via the portal venous circulation from intra-abdominal pathology or mucosal barrier breakdown.
Pathophysiologically, bacterial proliferation triggers localized tissue necrosis, liquefaction, and leukocyte accumulation, typically presenting clinically with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, swinging fevers, chills, leukocytosis, and elevated inflammatory markers.
