Liver Abscess Due to Streptococcus Infection Complicated with Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Layman Abstract :
This report discusses a rare case where a liver infection (abscess) caused by a type of bacteria called α-hemolytic Streptococci led to a serious complication—blockage of a major blood vessel in the liver (called portal vein thrombosis or PVT). A 51-year-old man with fever and stomach pain was found to have a large liver abscess and PVT. He was successfully treated with antibiotics, blood thinners, and drainage of the abscess.
Only six such cases have been reported so far. Symptoms usually include fever, abdominal pain, and tiredness. While some patients recover with proper treatment, others may face life-threatening complications, showing the importance of early diagnosis and care.
