Background: Pyogenic liver abscess is the most common form of liver abscess in the world. Early diagnosis and treatment can decrease its complications. Managing liver abscesses can be challenging. This study is directed on liver abscess management in a single center hospital. Methods: This is a retrospective review of all patients admitted to Sheikh Khalifah Medical City (SKMC) in United Arab Emirates with a diagnosis of liver abscess between January 2010 and November 2019 and the management that was offered to them. Results: Klebsiella Organism causes the majority of liver abscesses admitted at our center. We have found that a combined treatment modality using antibiotic and percutaneous drainage was the best approach. Conclusion: Liver abscesses are present among different nationalities affecting their health and life. Careful treatment should be obtained by a multimodal approach by using the right antibiotic and the assistance of interventional radiology.
