@entity733 formation during the course of acute @entity3377 is a rare event. A case of @entity3117 , the first to our knowledge, is described. A 49 years-old male @entity1 with @entity221 and a mild increase in ALT and gamma-GT was referred to our Institution. Routine blood exams tested negative and antibodies against Brucella spp. Were also negative. CT examination of abdomen was normal. After 8 days, US examination showed a liquid area under the right diaphragma and US-guided puncture revealed an abscess; pus culture showed the presence of @entity6467 . Seven days later theWright reaction became positive. After percutaneous catheter drainage of the abscess, @entity221 disappeared and US follow-up showed reconstitution of subphrenic space. Our study confirm that sonography is a valid method to demonstrate @entity6177 and that US-guided percutaneous puncture and drainage are useful tools in diagnosis and treatment of fluid abdominal collections
