Hepatitis, Bacterial
- bacteria can enter the liver through a variety of routes
- direct implantation
- eg foreign body penetration from reticulum
- direct extension from disease in adjacent tissues of supportive peritonitis
- haematogenously
- via the umbilical vein from an infected umbilicus
- via the portal vein in the alimentary tract
- via the hepatic artery in bacteraemias and septicaemias
- via the bile ducts
- direct implantation
- the liver may show microscopic evidence of involvement in a large variety of systemic infections
- these can be accompanied by jaundice
- the changes in the liver are diffuse with many small areas of necrosis surrounded by neutrophils and lymphocytes
- eg Salmonellosis or Listeriosis
