Abstract :We report a rare case of Gemella morbillorum associated pyogenic liver abscess in an immunocompetent 57-year-old female patient in this document. Gemella morbillorum is a gram-positive cocci found in the upper respiratory, genitourinary and gastrointestinal system microbiota. The bacterium is a member of the genus Gemella, and rare causative agent of endocarditis, brain abscess and bacteremia as an opportunistic pathogen. To the best of our knowledge,we present the first case of G. morbillorum associated pyogenic liver abscess in Turkey. The pathophysiology, diagnostic method and treatment of liver abscesses vary depending on the etiology. G. morbillorum is rare, but should be kept in the back of the mind while treating a patient with pyogenic liver abscess.
