Core Tip	Liver hydatid abscess (LHA) management is not standardized. The traditional treatment is emergency surgery but the results are usually suboptimal because the patients are in poor medical condition. The initial treatment of LHA in septic patients with percutaneous drainage in combination with antibiotic therapy and supportive measures allows control of the infection and improves the patient’s general condition. This enables the physician to treat the patient in greater safety and also reduces complications.
