Abstract
Amoebic liver abscess is the most frequent extra intestinal manifestation of Entamoeba histolytica infection. It is caused by the organism which enters the portal system from colon. Very often it ruptures into surrounding structures. We present here a case of ruptured amebic liver abscess, which was managed conservatively and discharged in a satisfactory treatment with diloxanide furonate and hematinics.
