Abstract

Among 16 with pyogenic liver abscess, two were found to have Papillon-Lefevre syndrome. The two cases are reported herein. Bacteremia from involved periodontal tissues and a possible impaired immune response could indicate an increased risk of pyogenic liver abscess among children with Papillon-Lefevre syndrome.
