A rare case of multiple mycetic abscesses in a patient with AIDS is reported: the diagnosis was suspected after an ultrasound (US) examination and was obtained with US guided percutaneous puncture. The US appearance and differential diagnosis of mycetic liver abscesses are discussed and the increasing role of US and US guided percutaneous puncture in the screening of these patients is stressed.

Abstract

A rare case of multiple mycetic abscesses in a patient with AIDS is reported: the diagnosis was suspected after an ultrasound (US) examination and was obtained with US guided percutaneous puncture. The US appearance and differential diagnosis of mycetic liver abscesses are discussed and the increasing role of US and US guided percutaneous puncture in the screening of these patients is stressed.

Medical Research, Diagnosis & Treatment contains studies of existing and developing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, as well as specific classes of clinical intervention. Resources in this category emphasize the difference between normal and disease states, with the ultimate goal of more effective diagnosis and intervention. Specific areas of interest include pathology and histochemical analysis of tissue, clinical chemistry and biochemical analysis of medical samples, diagnostic imaging, radiology and radiation, surgical research, anesthesiology and anesthesia, transplantation, artificial tissues, and medical implants. Resources focused on the disease, diagnosis, and treatment of specific organs or physiological systems are excluded and are covered in the Medical Research: Organs & Systems category.
