    Increased international travel leads to more amoebiasis cases in Western countries. Computed tomography (CT) can identify characteristic bowel-wall and liver abscesses caused by this parasitic infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Amoebiasis, a parasitic infection, is increasingly prevalent in non-endemic regions due to global travel.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing severe complications of amoebiasis.

    Observation:

    • A case of amoebiasis presented with characteristic pathological changes on computed tomography (CT).
    • The patient exhibited an abscess within the bowel wall and a secondary abscess in the adjacent liver.

    Findings:

    • CT imaging effectively visualized the extent and location of amoebic abscesses in the bowel and liver.
    • The findings confirm CT's utility in diagnosing invasive amoebiasis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering amoebiasis in patients with relevant travel history presenting with abdominal abscesses.

  • Radiologists and clinicians should be aware of the potential for amoebic infections in Western countries.
  • Prompt diagnosis via CT can lead to timely treatment and improved patient outcomes.
