"Multiple Liver AbscessLiver abscess is a public health problem in few countries in Asia, Africa, and South America. As time goes, there were only few cases of amebic liver abscess found in developed countries, on the contrary more pyogenic liver abscess are found in those countries. Liver abscess could be caused by bacteria, parasite, or fungus J. The common symptoms among the liver' abscess are fever; chill, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, right upper' abdominal pain,? in a few cases have symptoms like coughing, hiccup, pain in low right chest, or' pain on the shoulder: We reported a male patient 38 years batak ethnic was admitted with major symptoms such as high lever follow by chill, right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, fatigue and sometimes coughing. Based on clinical, laboratory data, and abdominal USG found this patient suspected suffered from pyogenic liver abscess. Treatment of this pattern consist of antibiotic (cefotaxime 29x1 IV metronidazol 3x500mg orally and aspiration of the liver' abscess). Aspiration was done 2 times with the interval l week, extracted 260cc totally yellow greenish watery fluid with no smell. On the follow up abdominal USG was repeated on January 8, 2003 found enlarge of the liver; 3 small abscesses on the right lobe liver and so recovery process and then patient left the hospital in good condition after 3 weeks hospitalized."

We reported a case of a young male patient aged 24 years old and complained of abdominal enlargement since 2 (two) weeks before. Abdominal ultrasound revealed multiple liver abscesses. Liver aspiration was performed and about 500 cc of yellowish purulent fluid was drained. During hospitalization the symptoms of fever and shortness of breath were getting worse although adequate antibiotic treatment had been given. Chest X-ray examination showed elevated right hemidiaphragm and right pleural effusion. Thoracocentesis and proof puncture showed purulent fluid. He was diagnosed with empyema as a complication of pyogenie liver abscess. Water Sealed Drainage (WSD) was performed to evacuate the fluid and he was given antibiotics.

"Liver disease has been identified as a leading cause of death in HIV-infected patients since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in 1996. The HIV treatment community has been caught largely unaware of this emerging dilemma. Many HIV care providers are ill-equipped to understand and interpret liver injury patterns, or to provide comprehensive care and management for viral coinfections which they are not familiar with.HIV and liver disease provides a comprehensive update of the field covering the epidemiology, pathogenesis, management and treatment of liver disease in patients with HIV infection. The volume will help HIV care providers understand and interpret liver injury patterns, and/or provide comprehensive care and management for viral coinfections. Gastroenterologists and hepatologists will gain an understanding of complex drug regimens that are used to treat HIV and which may impact HCV and HBV treatment. Written by expert clinicians and researchers across multiple disciplines, HIV and Liver Disease will be of great value to gastroenterologists, hepatologists, infectious disease practitioners, as well as other health care providers who provide care or participate in research in the field of HIV."
