After obtaining clearance and approval from the institutional ethical committee, detailed history of all patients is taken with thorough clinical examination; required Investigations were done and entered into a proforma during their stay and follow up. Therapeutic aspiration reserved for the following cases where: Size of abscess is more than 5 cm in diameter (125ml). When pain and fever persist for more than 3 to 5 days after starting Antiamoebic therapy. Four clinical variables-abdominal pain, fever, anorexia, and hepatomegaly-were assessed on daily basis.
