Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Clinical diagnosis of liver abscess, supported by an abdominal CT scan, documenting the presence of liver abscess, in the absence of biliary tract stones (except for gallstones without biliary tract dilatation), biliary tract dilatation and biliary tract tumors. Clinical diagnosis of liver abscess includes symptoms of fever, chills, right upper quadrant abdominal pain or knocking tenderness.
* Read, understood and signed informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria
* Cultures positive for an organism resistant to study drugs.
* APACHE II score greater or equal to 20.
* Co-existent disease considered likely to affect the outcome of the study (e.g., biliary tract stones and malignancy).
* Patients with ruptured liver abscess
* Severe hepatic insufficiency (Child-Pugh C) or elevated serum transaminases (GPT) to greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal.
* Patients who are pregnant or lactating.
* Known hypersensitivity to b-lactams or fluoroquinolones.
* Known prolongation of the QT interval.
* Patients with uncorrected hypokalemia.
* Patients receiving class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents
* Severe, life-threatening disease with a life expectancy of less than 2 months.
* Pre-treatment with a systemic antibacterial agent for \> 24 hours prior to enrollment within 5 days prior to enrollment.
* Participated in any clinical investigational drug study within 4 weeks of screening.
* Previously entered in this study.
