초록
Herein, we describe a bacteremia caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae that presented as liver abscesses. The patient had no riskfactors for disseminated gonococcal infection. Periodic fever, skin rashes, and papules were present and the results of an abdominalcomputed tomography scan indicated the presence of small liver abscesses. The results of blood culture and 16S rRNAsequencing of the bacterial isolates confirmed the presence of N. gonorrhoeae. The patient improved with antibiotic therapy.
