INTRODUCTION To identify the laboratory and ultrasound factors that could predict the response to medical treatment of amoebic liver abscess. MATERIAL AND METHOD Retrospective study of patients diagnosis with amoebic liver abscess in Hospital Central in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. We included patients greater than 15 years of both sexes. We excluded those with probable pyogenic abscess, immunosu...

A 52-year-old man with schizophrenia, who had a history of amoebic liver abscess treated with combination antimicrobial agents, presented 10 years later with severe rectal bleeding. Diagnosis of amoebic colitis was confirmed by histological examination of endoscopic biopsy. Doctors treating patients with amoebic infection should be aware of the risk of eradication failure. Post-treatment stool ...

progressive necrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue surrounding the incision of a liver abscess. The discharge contained active amoebae. No history of dysentery was present. Autopsy confirmed the amoebic nature of the liver abscess. Selenew described four cases of desquamative and pustular dermatitis of the head, neck and trunk in adult patients, from the discharge of which he identified adult...

Amoebiasis is endemic in Malaysia with a relatively higher incidence among Indians living in the rural areas. Patients are commonly admitted to the medical wards for amoebic dysentery or to the surgical wards for liver abscess. Rarely patients are admitted for perforation of amoebic colitis and sometimes with liver abscess which has ruptured into the peritoneal cavity, I but hitherto no patient...

Host genetic susceptibility is an important risk factor in infectious diseases. We explored the distribution of Q223R mutation in leptin receptor gene of amoebic liver abscess (ALA) patients of North India. A total of 55 ALA samples along with 102 controls were subjected to PCR-RFLP analysis. The frequency of allele "G" (coding for arginine) was in general high in Indian population irrespective...

A 28 year old woman with a history of a dysenteric illness and documented Campylobacter infection presented with amoebic psoas and liver abscesses. A review of the literature of the last 20 years did not yield any reports of an amoebic psoas abscess.

Isolated circulating immune complexes (CICs) from sera of patients with amoebiasis were characterized to determine Entamoeba histolytica antigens that participate in the disease process. In total, 116 serum samples were collected before starting anti-amoebic therapy, and their CICs were isolated by differential polyethylene glycol precipitation. The presence of amoeba-specific antigens in CICs ...

A combination of emetine hydrochloride with chloroquine yields better results than either drug alone in the treatment of amoebic liver abscess in adults (Wilmot, Powell, and Adams, 1959). A similar combination of dehydroemetine with chloroquine is equally satisfactory (Wilmot, Powell, MacLeod, and Elsdon-Dew, 1964; Powell, Wilmot, MacLeod, and Elsdon-Dew, 1967). Dehydroemetine is claimed to be ...
