علاج عدوى الكيس الكبدي

The diagnosis of hepatic cyst infection should be considered in patients who present with clinical signs of infection alongside supportive laboratory and imaging findings (Table 2).

Since E. coli is the most common strain in infected hepatic cysts, ciprofloxacin and/or 3rd generation cephalosporin alone or combination therapy are recommended empirically as the first antibiotic to be tried.

Empirical antibiotic use for about 4–6 weeks is recommended.

If the temperature persists above 38.5 degrees even after 48 hours of empiric antibiotic use, resistance to antibiotics is confirmed in culture, or there is a problem with the patient's immune system, drainage procedures should be actively considered.
