Bakteriyel, Parazitik Ve Fungal Karaciğer Hastalıkları
Anahtar Kelimeler
The liver is the body’s largest internal organ and it
undertakes many vital functions as the center of metabolic functions. This
organ plays a role in many critical processes, from protein synthesis to
detoxification, from energy storage to the production of digestive enzymes.
However, these versatile functions of the liver also make it vulnerable to
various infections. Most of the blood coming to the liver comes from the
gastrointestinal tract via the portal vein, and this blood can also carry
potentially pathogenic microorganisms. This situation paves the way for the
liver to become infected with many microbial organisms. Bacterial, parasitic
and fungal infections can cause serious pathological changes in the liver.
These infections may begin directly in the liver or may occur as part of
systemic or infectious diseases. The clinical course of liver infections varies
greatly depending on the etiology of the infection, the immune status of the
host, and the extent of spread of the infection. The aim of this chapter is to
discuss the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods and
treatment approaches of bacterial liver diseases in detail.
