Abstract

A 5-month-old infant presented with high fever, irritability, and poor feeding. Examination revealed an enlarged liver and neutropaenia. Ultrasonography was unhelpful, but a diagnosis of liver abscess was confirmed by computed tomography on day 4 of the illness. Gallium scan was normal on day 4 but showed a resolving liver abscess on day 6. Staphylococcus aureus was grown in blood culture. The infant recovered with antibiotic treatment alone.
