Hepatic Abscess Complicated by Dic in a Diabetic Patient: a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Hepatic abscess, although rare, constitutes a medical emergency that can be fatal in the absence of rapid management, especially in diabetic patients. These individuals are at increased risk of severe infections and complications such as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We report the case of a type 2 diabetic patient admitted for a hepatic abscess complicated by DIC, requiring complex management in the intensive care unit. Through this case, we highlight the pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic approaches of complicated hepatic abscesses in diabetic patients.
