Hello,
Its common with liver abscess to have raised ESR and total leukocyte count to be on higher side. IF it has been aspirated then I suggest you to wait for the cultures and continue with the current treatment regimen. I also suggest you to do a repeat imaging to see if its not accumulated again in the liver that might be leading to high infectious markers.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
