Abstract

amoebic infection without a preceding history of diarrhea, a fact well recognized where these infections are common but not by those of us who see them but rarely.2) It is particularly important at this time for the surgeon to recognize that a "sterile" abscess of the liver is of amoebic origin until proved otherwise.3) The administration of emetine combined with aspiration rather than with external surgical drainage of the abscess is the treatment of choice, when there is no secondary infection'.
