ABSTRACT

Serum proteins were estimated in two patient groups, namely (i) 20 cases with proven ameobic liver abscess and (ii) 12 cases with hepatic amoebiasis without demonstrable pus, commonly referred to by the misnomer 'ameobic hepatitis'. In amoebic liver abscess a fall in albumin and an increase in alpha 2 and gamma globulin results in a serum protein pattern somewhat different from that in hepatic amoebiasis without demonstrable pus, where an elevation in gamma globulin was infrequent. Post-therapy serum protein estimations revealed that, irrespective of the presence or absence of pus, a rising gamma globulin level in hepatic amoebiasis may be of prognostic significance and post-treatment surveillance would be necessary in patients showing this type of response.
