Liver abscess in an eight-year-old boy after perforated appendix

Pyogenic liver abscess is rare in healthy children, especially in developed countries. It occurs mainly in immunocompromised children. In the world, there are only a few cases after appendicitis in healthy immunocompetent children. Pyogenic liver abscess was first well-characterized as a potential complication of appendicitis by Dieulafoy in 1898. In the period of powerful antibiotics this complication of appendicitis has become exceedingly rare. This is the first case of liver abscess in a child described in our country and in this part of Europe.
