1/ We didn’t cover all of this in Ep.4, but the case is a good reminder to think about the various imaging findings in liver infection
Knowing the defining features & ddx of liver abscess; hydatid cysts; and mult small nodules is very useful!

A lot of info for 1 page but a few 🗝️points:
🔸Pyogenic+amebic liver abscess can be indistinguishable on imaging
🔸Echinococcus: check out the WHO classification
🔸Ddx mul small solid nodular liver lesions has a wide ddx. For ID, includes TB/Bartonella/Disseminated fungal inf

Here is a nice summary article tackling liver infection imaging + potential pitfalls:
pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/rg…
The authors had a flowchart to help think about ddx based on imaging ➡️their 1st branch point = dominant cystic lesion or multiple small solid nodular lesions?

Did you hear about how a liver abscess in the setting of CGD may be unique to a typical pyogenic liver abscess in the episode?
Stay tuned, tomorrow there will be a quick graphic on this to remind you!
