Abstract
This report describes a 15-year-old with an 11.1 × 8.2 × 8.4 cm multiloculated liver abscess caused by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus who failed extensive catheter drainage and intravenous antibiotics. Daily intra-abscess oxacillin was instilled for 7 days with rapid clinical improvement and sterilization of the abscess. One month later, an ultrasound of the abdomen revealed a normal liver.
