The document discusses liver abscesses, which can be caused by bacteria (pyogenic) or amoeba. Pyogenic liver abscesses are more common in males and risk factors include diabetes, cancer, and liver transplant. They usually spread to the liver via the blood or directly from other infected sites. Amoebic liver abscesses are caused by Entamoeba histolytica infection through fecal-oral transmission to the liver. Treatment involves antibiotics such as penicillin for pyogenic abscesses or metronidazole for amoebic abscesses. Surgical drainage is sometimes needed for large or complicated abscesses.
