ABSTRACT
The management of pyogenic liver abscess differs radically from that of amebic liver abscess. Medical management is the cornerstone of therapy in amebic liver abscess while early intervention in the form of surgical therapy or catheter drainage and parenteral antibiotics is the rule in pyogenic liver abscess. The prognosis of amebic abscess is much better than that of pyogenic abscess and usually a quick response to therapy is seen in amebic abscess.
