 AB    A 36-year-old man with overgrowth of Staphylococcus aureus in the small
       bowel underwent a biopsy of the small bowel and presented 5 weeks later
       with multiple liver abscesses. To our knowledge, small bowel biopsy has
       never been associated with liver abscesses. We discuss the literature on
       liver abscesses in patients with AIDS and the risks of bacteremia
       following upper endoscopy and small bowel biopsy and propose that the
       etiology of the liver abscesses in our patient was seeding of the portal
       vein following biopsy of a small bowel that had significant bacterial
       overgrowth.
