Summary, etc. &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;A 66-year-old male patient presented with symptoms and signs of L4/5 radiculopathy. He was found to be anaemic with elevated inflammatory markers and deranged hepatic enzymes. Imaging revealed lumbar canal stenosis and the presence of pyogenic liver abscesses from which&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;Fusobacterium nucleatum&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;Streptococcus vestibularis&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;were isolated. The hepatic abscesses were attributed to asymptomatic diverticular perforation. Multiple coexisting incidental infections were discovered, including oesophageal candidiasis,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;Helicobacter pylori&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;, stool cultures positive for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;Strongyloides stercoralis,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and sputum cultures positive for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;Enterobacter cloacae&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;Mycobacterium avium&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Extensive investigations for possible underlying immunosuppression were negative.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
