Serial ultrasound examinations were conducted in 93 patients with amoebic liver abscess. The initial size of the abscesses ranged from 3 to 17 cm. The time taken for complete healing to occur varied from 10 to 300 days and correlated directly with the initial size of the abscess cavity. As healing progressed, the abscess cavity became increasingly hypoechoic and assumed a smoother margin. In uncomplicated cases, complete healing occurred and, on ultrasound, no residual lesions were seen in the liver. There were two cases each of delayed healing and recurrence of amoebic liver abscess and the value of ultrasound in these situations is discussed. Ultrasound examination of the liver appears to be very suitable for assessing satisfactory progress of healing in amoebic liver abscess.
