ABSTRACT
Here, we present a case with genetically confirmed SCN. The main symptom of the child was recurring fever. The combination of antibiotics combined with G-CSF injection was proved to be insufficient, and the patient developed "solid" liver abscess. After undergoing surgical anatomical hepatic lobectomy, the child's infection symptoms showed improvement. The postoperative culture of the purulent material from the liver infection lesion revealed an infection with Staphylococcus aureus. Our case raises the possibility of pathogen sources and routes of infection, clinical characteristics, and effective treatment for SCN patients with concomitant liver abscess.
