The patient: A 45-year-old man in Saudi Arabia
The symptoms: The patient went to the hospital after experiencing 10 days of gut pain and fever. Doctors performed an ultrasound of the man's abdomen and found an abscess — a pus-filled mass — in the right lobe of his liver. They drained the abscess and gave the patient a 10-day course of antibiotics. His fever subsided, and the man was sent home.
