Cryptogenic Pyogenic Liver Abscess Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Prevalence of Colonic Neoplasm in Cryptogenic Pyogenic Liver Abscess
Although a proportion of pyogenic liver abscess may originated from colonic mucosal lesions, the prevalence of colonic neoplasm in the patients with pyogenic liver abscess are still not evaluated yet. Thus, our group will find the prevalence of colonic neoplasm in the group of cryptogenic pyogenic liver abscess by colonoscopic examination.
