Overview
History
- History of recent travel to or resident of endemic areas.
- Time of onset (duration of symptoms <14 days)
- History of fever and abdominal pain
Symptoms
After exposure, 80% of infected patients develop symptoms with in few days to 4-5 weeks. Symptoms of amoebic liver abscess include:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Moderate to severe abdominal pain
- localized to right upper quadrant radiated to right shoulder or diffuse
- pain is intense, continuous or stabbing
- Pain aggravates with coughing, deep breathing, walking and while resting on right side
- Malaise (uneasiness, or ill feeling)
- Loss of appetite
- Sweating
- Weight loss
- Epigastric pain (Commonly seen in left lobe abscesses)
- Fever (high fever with chills is suggestive of secondary bacterial infection)
- Anorexia
- Pleuritic chest pain
- Cough with or without expectoration
- Yellow discoloration of skin (Jaundice is seen in 1/3 of patients)
- Confusion (due to encephalopathy)
- Abdominal distension (due to ascites)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
