Overview
Ameoebic liver abscess is caused by a protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. It is the most common extraintestinal manifestation of amoebiasis.
Pathophysiology
- Amoebic liver abscess is the most common extraintestinal manifestation of amoebiasis.
- There are two genetically different species of entamoeba.[1] They are
- The infection is transmitted to liver by portal venous system.[2]
Pathogenesis
