Liver abscess treatment: an observational study
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how liver abscesses are treated and how well they heal. It includes people whose abscess was found on a scan and drained, and who got better with antibiotics.

This study looks at patients with liver cancer (HCC) who had a procedure called TACE (chemoembolization) after surgery. It aims to understand why some people develop a liver abscess (a pocket of infection) after TACE and how that affects their outcome.
This trial compares two antibiotic treatments for liver abscess: one given through an IV (into a vein) and one taken as pills by mouth. The goal is to see if the oral treatment works just as well, which could make treatment easier and more convenient for patients.
This trial uses a computer model based on deep learning to predict whether a bacterial liver abscess will be resistant to multiple antibiotics. It looks at your CT scan images to help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopy to drain large liver abscesses. It may be an option if standard needle drainage hasn't worked or isn't possible.
This trial tests different ways to manage an abscess (a pocket of pus) caused by an infected appendix. If you have this condition, it may help find the best treatment for you.
This trial tests if draining a lung abscess through a tube placed in the chest is effective. If you have a lung abscess at least 4 cm wide in the outer part of your lung and signs of infection, you may be able to join.
