The Hindu
Doctors suspect that poor nutrition and use of steroids could have led to pus formation and compromised their livers.
14 post-COVID-19 patients, eight of whom had received steroids during treatment, were diagnosed with "unusually large" and multiple liver abscesses, and one of them died due to massive bleeding in abdomen, authorities at a leading private hospital here said on Thursday. Liver abscess (pus formation in liver) is commonly caused by a parasite known as entamoeba histolytica which is transmitted through contaminated food and water, doctors said. These patients, ten men and four women inthe age group of 28-74, were brought to the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in the last two months with "unusual manifestations", doctors said.
