“…1 ALA is the third leading cause of death due to parasitic diseases after malaria and schistosomiasis. Invasion occurs by penetration of intestinal mucosal barrier by trophozoites, which then enter the circulation and carried to liver via portal circulation.…”

“…These findings are consistent with the previous reports on amoebic liver abscess by Sharma et al and Mukopadhyay et al and various other studies. [8][9][10][11][12] Most of the patients of amoebic liver abscess were in the age group of 30-50 years and of pyogenic liver abscess falls in 50-70 years age group which is reported in various studies also. 10,13,14 Males are affected more than females in the ratio of 9.5:1 in case of amoebic liver abscess while in pyogenic liver abscess the male to female ratio is 1.6:1 which has been globally observed.…”

Background: This prospective observational study is carried out to study cases of liver abscess and to determine demographic profile, spectrum of clinical presentations, aetiology, laboratory investigations. The objective of the study was to evaluate efficacy of Ultrasonographic (radiological) studies in determining the aetiology and in differentiating from other liver pathologies which may change the treatment outcome, bacteriological and serological characteristics, to study the influence of alcohol, diabetics and immunocompromised diseases (esp. HIV) leading to increased incidence of liver abscess and to evaluate efficacy, recurrence rate, complications, morbidity and mortality, duration of hospital stay associated with different management Strategies.Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in Department of Surgery, Gandhi Medical College Bhopal and Associated Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal between July 2015 to October 2016.Results: Amoebic abscess (74%) is more common than pyogenic abscess (26%). Amoebic abscess is common in the age group of 31-50 years (73%), pyogenic in the age group of 51-70 years (73.1%). Male preponderance is found in case of amoebic liver abscess (90.5%). Right lobe involvement in common. Right upper quadrant pain, tenderness and fever are the most common clinical features. Alcoholism is most common risk factor (71.6%) and diabetes mellitus has strong association with pyogenic liver abscess (15.4%). E coli (19.2%) and klebsiella (11.5%) are the most common organisms cultured. Medical therapy is more useful in case of amoebic liver abscess (58.1%) while catheter drainage is more useful in case of pyogenic liver abscess (61.5%). Pleuropulmonary complications are much more common and complications rate is more common among pyogenic group.Conclusions: In our study, alcohol was found to be the most common predisposing factor for liver abscesses (68%), this underpin the finding of other studies. Amoebic liver abscess is a medically treated common infection prevailing in unhygienic condition, affecting people mostly between 30-40 years of age whereas pyogenic liver abscess patient commonly falls between 50-70 years age group. Both liver abscesses show a male preponderance. The present study also corroborates the catheter drainage procedure as a superior modality in treating pyogenic liver abscess.

“…Özellikle gelişmemiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde her yıl 50.000-100.000 arasında, özellikle 5 yaş altı çocuklarda amebiazise bağlı ölümler görülebilmektedir (2,3). Çocuklarda 2-3 yaş, erişkinlerde ise 40 yaş olmak üzere iki tepe insidans bildirilmektedir (4). Erken bebeklik döneminde ise semptomatik enfeksiyon oldukça nadirdir ve mortalite oranı oldukça yüksektir.…”

ÖzAmebiasis Entamoeba histolytica'nın neden olduğu paraziter bir hastalıktır. Dünyanın tropikal ve subtropikal bölgelerinde endemiktir ve dünya nüfusunun % 10'unun E. histolytica ile enfekte olduğu düşünülmektedir. Çocukluk çağında sık görülür, ancak erken bebeklik döneminde semptomatik enfeksiyon oldukça nadirdir ve bebeklerdeki mortalite oranı oldukça yüksektir. Düşük sosyoekonomik düzey ve kötü sanitasyon koşullarının amipli dizanteri riskini arttırdığı bilinmektedir. Endemik bölgelerde, emzirme ve farklı sosyoekonomik durumlar bebekleri E. histolytica enfeksiyonundan korumamaktadır. Bu yazıda 4.5 ve 1.5 aylık sosyoekonomik düzeyi yüksek çevrede büyüyen, sadece anne sütü ile beslenen iki infant polikliniğimize kanlı mukuslu dışkılama ile başvurdu ve intestinal amebiasis ön tanısı ile yatırıldı. Dışkı incelemelerinde amip trofozoit ve kisti saptandı. ELISA yöntemi ile adezin antijeni pozitif bulundu. Hastalara 50 mg/kg/gün olacak şekilde oral metranidazol tedavisi başlandı. Bu yazıda, infantil dönemde çok nadir görülen semptomatik amibiyazisli 2 olgu, hastalığa dikkat çekme amacıyla sunulmuştur.Anahtar Sözcükler: Amip, infant, sosyoekonomik düzey. Abstract Amebiasis is a parasitic infection caused Entamoeba histolytica. The parasitic infection is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of the world accounting 10% of people. Although amoebic dysentery is common in childhood, symptomatic infection in early infancy is quite rare and the mortality in infancy is
