Overview
Diagnostic approach includes laboratory methods like microscopy, culture, antigen, and antibody detection and radiologic method like CT scan, MRI, and ultrasonography.

Laboratory Diagnosis (LD)
- Microscopy; abscess fluid; sterile, odorless, brown or yellow liquid
- Culture
- Antigen detection in saliva, serum (ELISA)
- Antibody detection in abscess fluid/pus (ELISA, IHA)
- PCR
a. Acute clinical manifestations are associated with multiple amoebic abscess
b. Aspiration contraindicated for cystic echinococcosis
