Abstract

A number of bacterial infections may affect the liver to varying degrees of intensity. The frequently observed liver involvement is attributed to a number of causes: (1.) size of this visceral parenchymatous organ, (2.) multiplicity and activity of the hepatic RES as a filtering system, (3.) double (portal and arterial) blood supply with transport of bacteria or their toxins, and (4.) lymphogenous spread of pathogenic organisms.
