Résumé
Pyogenic liver abscesses (PLA) are life-threatening disorders and require immediate treatment, but structured evidence is sparse and treatment guidelines are not established. In a retrospective observational study of 221 adult PLA patients (mean age 63 years, 63% men) treated between 2013 and 2019 at the Leipzig University Medical Center, we characterized pathogen spectrum, clinical management and outcomes. Biliary malignancies (33%), cholelithiasis (23%) and ischemic biliary tract disease (16%) were most common causes of PLA. Comorbidities included malignancies (40%) and diabetes mellitus (35%). Abdominal ultrasound was the preferred initial imaging modality (58%). Enterobacterales (58%), enterococci (42%) and streptococci (18%) were identified as most frequent pathogens. 97% of patients were treated with antibiotics and 75% of patients underwent an invasive treatment procedure. The 30-day mortality was almost identical in patients with and without underlying malignancy (14.6% vs. 14.4%, p = 0.96), while the one-year outcome differed significantly (58.4% vs. 29.6%, p < 0.001). Positive blood cultures (OR 4.78, 95% CI 1.39 to 22.5, p = 0.023) and detection of Enterobacterales (OR 3.55, 95% CI 1.40 to 9.97, p = 0.010) were associated with increased 30-day-mortality. We conclude that ultrasound, extensive microbiologic diagnosis, adequate anti-infective therapy and early intervention are crucial for the management of PLA.
