É uma peri-hepatite, inflamatória da cápsula hepática, geralmente causada por Neisseria gonorrhoese ou Chlamydia trachomatis. Acredita-se que ela ocorra por difusão dos organismos a partir das trompas de Falópio para a superfície do fígado. Isso deve ser considerado como uma das causas de dor no quadrante superior direito em pessoas jovens do sexo feminino sexualmente ativas. O diagnóstico diferencial é com pielonefrite ou uma condição de origem hepatobiliar ou do trato digestivo. Ela tem sido ocasionalmente em homens, provavelmente, como resultado de disseminação bacterêmica.
