Clinical image and laboratory findings suggest a polymicrobial infection in liver abscess from an HIV-infected patient. A Chest X-ray obtained on the patient’s first hospitalization day revealed an air-fluid level beneath the right diaphragm, and B contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated a 14 × 7.6-cm multiloculated cystic lesion at the level of S2, S3, and S4 in the liver parenchyma.
