I am presenting here a case of liver abscess. What should be the right title of this
case, I was very confused about this matter. So I have given it more then one title.
The first thing about this case is that, it reconfirm Hahnemanns concept Treat the
sick not the disease or we could say in kents word it is man, prior to organ it
means, Your organ is damaged because you are sick, but not you are sick, because
your organ is damaged. So according to Homoeopathy, the treatment of any organ
without considering the real man is strongly prohibited.

This case is also one of the most important examples of Highest ideal of
cure that is to say, The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent
restoration of the health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole
extent, in the shortest, most reliable and most harmless way, on easily
comprehensive principles This case is unique in itself because it has three major
pathology Liver abscess, acute renal failure, and marked leucosytosis (T.L.C
32000, Polymorph - 88) two minor pathology were, Patient was an old diabetic and
at present, suffering from Malaria fever (P vivex positive) the most advanced and
serious pathology was Liver abscess and renal failure. Liver contain approximate 380
CC abscess on posterior surface near about diaphragm. Regarding renal failure, the
Blood urea of the patient is 140 and S- creatinine 3.40. Now please think about all
these pathology and possible treatment of all these disease in allopathy. Now first
considered about
Liver abscess - according to allopathy, liver abscess is the result of infection
especially of pyogenic organism. Minor liver abscess can be treat with antibiotic

alone, but in case of large abscess, surgery is compulsory. Abscess must be removed
by surgical intervention because it can produce much complication, it may be bust
and the busting of the abscess of the right lobe of liver may produce Pleurisy. Same
as busting of left lobe of liver may produce pericarditis. So the conclusion is liver
abscess is life threatening condition and surgical intervention is necessary.
Renal failure it is another life threatening condition, there is no effective
treatment present in allopathy at present time. The case can be managed by
dialysis, ultimately patient death is ensured.
This very life threatening case is cured by homoeopathy in very short span of
time. Without any suffering and permanently This patient was admitted in the
hospital, where allopathic treatment was conducted on him. But there was no
marked improvement. Doctors were saying that aspiration of liver abscess is
compulsory for the cure of patient. That is only one cause of fever of patient. Due to
fear of surgery patient consulted me, when patient visited at my clinic, the clinical
presentation of the case was.
1 The patient was weak and restlessness due to pain in chest
2. Fever was suppressed by allopathic medicine
3. Patient could not have passed stool from last three days
4. Abdomen is distended by flatus
5 Patient was suffering from constant hiccough
6 Patient was unable to sleep from last 5 nights.
I took the case and following data is revealed.
1.
2.

Patient is old drunkard and diabetic

Presently he is suffering from sleeplessness, distended abdomen, constant
hiccough, severe constipation, patient is unable to pass stool. With the
pathology of liver abscess, renal failure, Malaria fever, leucosytosis,

HISTORY OF PRESENT COMLIANT One day patient was working and suddenly he
feel chilliness and fever, for which he treated with allopathy with no result, after
that he referred to hospital where all that fact are revealed.
After taking the case and repertrization I gave him a single dose of Homoeopathic
medicine(Nux vomica - 200) Oh, what a great comfort feel by patient at once.
1.

Patient slept well at that night.

2.

No hiccough present.

3.

Now patient can pass stool and urine.

4.

Chest Pain reduced

5.

Chill fever returned and cure spontaneously

6.

Now patient is able to eat, he feel hunger

7.

All over general improvement is clearly seen in the patient

8.
9.

after few days all pathology like elevated urea and creatinine also become
normal
WBC count become normal

10. MPFM negative

Now only remaining pathology is Liver abscess, I was very confused regarding this
pathology whether it should be drain or not, one of great cause of my confusion was,
if patient is handed over to allopathic doctor and abscess is drained. So the course of
antibiotic will be start on the patient, and this will prove fetal for the patient so
after all with discussion of many allopathic doctor and radiologist. I took the
decision of, not to drain the abscess. Here Organon of medicine guided me. Dr.
hahnemann and Dr. Kent both says that, if patient feel improvement in general so
dont worry about pathology, it will disappear with the time. So I have to take the
decision of weight and watch. And my passions were fruitful ultimately within short
span of time only within 8 month abscess Disappeared completely.

Pathophysiology
Pyogenic bacteria can gain access to the liver through direct extension from contiguous organs or via the
portal vein or hepatic artery. Hepatic clearance of bacteria via the portal system appears to be a normal
phenomenon in healthy individuals; however, organism proliferation, tissue invasion, and abscess
formation can occur with biliary obstruction, poor perfusion, or microembolization.

Microbiology
The organisms isolated most often are included below. Most abscesses contain more than one organism
and frequently are of biliary or enteric origin. Blood culture results are positive in 33-65% of cases, [7] with
positive results from abscess cultures reported in 73-100% of series. [7, 9] Escherichia coli is the most
common organism isolated in Western series, whereas Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as a
common isolate in patients with diabetes in Taiwan.[11, 12, 13, 14]
The microorganisms most commonly isolated from blood and abscess cultures are as follows [7, 9] :

E coli - 33%
K pneumoniae - 18%
Bacteroides species - 24%
Streptococcal species - 37%
Microaerophilic streptococci - 12%

Presentation
The clinical presentation of liver abscess is insidious; many patients have symptoms for weeks before
presentation. Fever and right upper quadrant pain are the most common complaints (see Table 1 below).
Pain is reported in as many as 80% of patients and may be associated with pleuritic chest pain or right
shoulder pain. Symptoms are often misdiagnosed as acute cholecystitis. Fever occurs in 87-100% of
patients and is usually associated with chills and malaise.[9, 15] Anorexia, weight loss, and mental confusion
are also common symptoms.

Physical examination findings are most notable for right upper quadrant tenderness. Hepatomegaly, liver
mass, and jaundice are also common. Occasionally, patients may present with rales, pleural effusion,
friction rub, or pulmonary consolidation. Rarely, patients are admitted with sepsis and peritonitis from
intraperitoneal rupture of the abscess. The following table summarizes the signs and symptoms of
pyogenic liver abscess.
