Case history
A 59-year-old female was referred from her General Practitioner to the Department of Gastroenterology, Aalborg University Hospital upon suspicion of a PLA. The patient presented with intermittent high fever 1-2 times a week during the previous six weeks, fatigue, and had an unattended weight loss of 6-7 kg. She was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus as a part of general examination, but was otherwise immunocompetent. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed multiple hypoattenuating hepatic lesions suggestive of liver abscesses, see below. She had no close contacts to animals. At admission, the patient was afebrile, vital parameters were normal, and she was otherwise unaffected with no diarrhoea, abdominal tenderness or jaundice.
