Gas Forming Pyogenic Liver Abscess Diagnosed by Point of Care Ultrasound 

Wei Ven Chin, MD MRCP; Mae Jane Khaw, MD MRCP – Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFLPA) carries a high mortality rate. Early identification of the source of infection in sepsis results in better survival. Bedside point of care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used to help localize a source of infection. A 59-year-old man presented with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and was diagnosed with GFLPA on the initial encounter via clinical assessment and POCUS examination.
