Comparing the pathogenic bacteria of pyogenic liver abscess between diabetic and non-diabetic patients
Abstract：Objective The present study aims to investigate the characteristics of liver abscess and improve the treatment by reviewing the clinical data and bacterial culture results of pyogenic liver abscess.Methods By reviewing the clinical data of 112 pyogenic liver abscess , the patients were divided into two groups according to the diagnosis of diabetes or not .Age, positive culture ratio , pathogenic bacteria between the two groups were compared .Results Diabetic group ( DM) contained 71 cases (63.4%), and non -diabetic group (NDM) contained 41 cases (36.6%).There were significant difference in age (P<0.01), no significant difference in gender, drainage ratio, culture examination ratio and positive bacterial culture .Among the results of the cultured bacteria , Klebsiella Pneumonia ( KP) is the most in both groups , but ratio of KP is significant higher in DM group than in NDM group (95.0% vs.68.2%, P <0.01).Conclusion There is significant difference in the cultured bacteria between diabetic and non -diabetic pyogenic liver abscess patients .When initially choosing antibiotics , the choice for the non -diabetic liver abscess patient should be more broad -spectrum.
