Abstract
Among 16 with pyogenic liver abscess, two were found to have Papillon- Lefevre syndrome. The two cases are reported herein. Bacteremia from i nvolved periodontal tissues and a possible impaired immune response co uld indicate an increased risk of pyogenic liver abscess among childre n with Papillon-Lefevre syndrome.
