Clostridium septicum infection of hepatic metastases following alcohol injection: a case report.

Neam Saleh1, Muhammad R Sohail, Rayhan H Hashmey, Mohammed Al Kaabi.   

Abstract

Clostridium septicum infections are generally associated with gastrointestinal or hematologic malignancies. We report the first case of hepatic metastases infection with Clostridium septicum that followed alcohol injection of liver lesion. Clinicians should consider this possibility in patients with underlying malignancy who present with hepatic abscess, as prompt surgical drainage and empiric antibiotics may be life saving.
