    Ultrasound effectively identifies hepatic amoebic abscesses and their complications. This imaging modality is crucial for diagnosing liver abscesses and associated issues like jaundice and ascites.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Hepatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Hepatic amoebic abscesses are a significant clinical concern.
    • Complications can arise, necessitating accurate diagnostic tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of ultrasound in diagnosing hepatic amoebic abscesses.
    • To assess ultrasound's capability in detecting associated complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Ultrasound examinations were performed on 150 patients diagnosed with hepatic amoebic abscesses.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound successfully visualized the abscess cavities in all patients.
    • Twenty patients presented with complications, including thoracic involvement, peritoneal rupture, subphrenic collection, obstructive jaundice, and ascites, all well-depicted by ultrasound.
