Abstract	We report the case of a 50-year-old man who developed a febrile illness four days after injection sclerotherapy of his haemorrhoids. The patient increasingly became unwell and was eventually found to have multiple hepatic abscesses. He made a complete recovery with antibiotic therapy. The importance of educating both patients and doctors about this complication is emphasized. (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
