A rare case of emphysematous liver abscessOA
To the Editor:Emphysematous liver abscess(ELA)is an uncommon but severe form of liver infection,typically caused by gas-producing microorganisms such as Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,anaerobes(e.g.,Clostridium species),and certain fungi[1–3].The clinical presentation of ELA is similar to other types of liver abscesses but is often more severe due to the rapid progression and potential for systemic complications[4].We herein reported an extremely rare case of ELA,emphasizing that early identification,standardized diagnostic protocols,and timely intervention were pivotal to improving patient prognosis.
