ABSTRACT
100 cases of Amoebic Liver Abscess with age ranging from 20 years to 70 years have been treated over a period of 5 years. Amoebic Liver abscess was found in 8% cases of amoebic colitis. Interesting clinical observations were, afebrile presentation in 14% and jaundice in only 9% cases. In most cases liver function tests were of no significance. Hepatic scan was useful diagnostic aid. Peritoneal rupture occurred in only five cases. Open Drainage was indicated if response to anti-amoebic therapy and aspiration failed or if secondary infection SUPERVENED. As such surgical open Drainage was our main approach in these cases
