A case of liver abscess is analysed in the light of recent data from the literature. The attention is drawn on the increase in frequency of this disease over the last 10 years. The diagnosis is difficult to set on clinical and biological grounds but can be established with certainty by means of scintigraphy and hepatic angiography. Identification of the micro-organism is difficult and impossible in more than half of the cases. Treatment which is essentially surgical, in association with antibiotherapy specific of the anaerobic and gram negative micro-organisms, can reduce total mortality to 10%.
