Abstract
Pyogenic liver abscess is still considered a medical challenge due to the seriousness of the clinical course, late diagnosis, and usually high mortality. Gas-forming liver abscess is not uncommon, the incidence among all pyogenic liver abscess is around 7 to 24 %, mostly in individuals in their sixth and seventh decades, and with diabetes mellitus disease. The epidemiology of gas-forming liver abscess has been changing with a shift from young to older diabetic adults. A clinical case of a 71 year old diabetic female with gas-forming liver abscess is presented, we describe the clinical course and treatment is analyzed.
