High pelvirectal abscesses may cause lower abdominal pain and fever without rectal symptoms. Sometimes fever is the only symptom. [msdmanuals.com]
Symptoms are severe throbbing pain near the anus with swelling and fever; it may cause an anal fistula. Pus is drained from the abscess by surgical incision. [oxfordreference.com]

Severe abscesses may present with systemic features* such as fever, rigors, general malaise or sepsis. On examination, an abscess will be red and tender and may be discharging purulent or haemorrhagic fluid. [teachmesurgery.com]

It causes extreme pain, fatigue, rectal discharge, and fever. In some cases, anal abscesses can result in painful anal fistulas. This occurs when the abscess doesn’t heal and breaks open on the surface of the skin. [healthline.com]

Treatment
Perianal and Perirectal Abscesses (Treatment) should revert to the most conservative approach possible. [tripdatabase.com]
Treatment Seton is a non absorbable suture (e.g. silk) or tape that is passed across the fistula and tied 25. Treatment Anal fistula plug repair Glue injection 26. Treatment Video assisted anal fistula track ligation 27. [slideshare.net]
However, for patients where physical examination does not reveal an obvious abscess, endoanal ultrasound (EUS) can be used as an adjunct in the office setting. 4.3.1.4 Treatment The treatment of perianal abscesses is incision and drainage. [abdominalkey.com]
Different treatment modalities have been evaluated in more than 400 reported trials. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis
PROGNOSIS Drainage alone results in cure for 50%. 50% will have recurrences and develop an anal fistula. [slideshare.net]
Associations Recognized associations include: diabetes mellitus Crohn disease pelvic infection trauma anorectal cancer/anal cancer +/- radiation therapy Treatment and prognosis While some abscesses may resolve spontaneously via internal drainage into [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis The outcome is good if the abscess is treated promptly. One study found that 31% of patients who had incision and drainage of perianal abscess developed a fistula. [patient.info]
Etiology
Placement of a drain is indicated only for the management (...) and etiology of the lesion. Failure to take the primary etiology into account in the management of a supralevator abscess may lead to iatrogenic fistula formation. [tripdatabase.com]
