Abstract
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is the result of bacterial infection of the liver parenchyma, with subsequent penetration by inflammatory cells and development of a collection of pus. Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a serious, life hostile condition with a sky-scraping mortality rate. The objective of this study was to collect demographic data and clinical laboratory and microbiological distinctiveness of PLA patients and the assortment of the most capable and fiscal antibiotics. We studied 130 cases of pyogenic liver abscesses patients (clinical, laboratory, radiologic findings and the results of bacteriological studies), admitted to Khyber Teaching Hospital in KPK treated between the time period of 2000-2012. Data was analyzed by statistical package by excel 2010. Patient’s demographics reveal that male predominance over female (Male to female ratio 3:1) accounting 62.30%. 70% were under the age of 50 and shows that pyogenic liver abscess is indirectly proportional to the age that is, with the increase of age the described disease decreases. Escherichia coli were found to be the common organism involved in causing pyogenic liver abscess. Among 300 E. coli the rate of sensitivity were 100% to Norfloxacin and Enoxcin and 50% to gentamycin and Amikacin. We analyze and conclude that males more sensitive to Pyogenic liver abcess than female.
