Liver abscess treatments and outcomes
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how patients with liver abscesses (pus pockets in the liver) respond to treatment. It helps doctors understand which treatments work best and improves care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a liver abscess that was confirmed by an ultrasound or CT scan and matches typical symptoms like fever, chills, jaundice, or abdominal pain.
- You had a sample of the pus drained from the liver abscess using imaging guidance (like ultrasound or CT).
- Your abscess showed complete healing on follow-up imaging after antibiotic treatment.
- Your liver abscess is not caused by a hydatid cyst (a parasitic infection).

- Your medical records are complete and available for the study.

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 study tests whether adding a second medicine (diloxanide furoate) to the standard antibiotic (metronidazole) helps people recover from an amoebic liver abscess. If you have this condition and are otherwise healthy, this treatment might improve your recovery.
This trial tests a surgery called laparoscopy to drain a liver abscess (a pocket of infection in the liver) when the usual needle drainage hasn't worked. The goal is to help clear the infection using a less invasive procedure.
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.
This study looks at the best way to treat an abscess (a pocket of pus) near the appendix. It may help find a treatment that clears the infection with fewer complications.
This study compares two ways to treat appendicitis that has formed an abscess or firm inflammatory mass (phlegmon) on a CT scan. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people with complicated appendicitis.
