| pubmed-article:20099680 | pubmed:abstractText | Hepatic amebiasis is common in tropical zones. Solitary abscess is the classical form but multinodular presentation does not rule out amebiasis as the underlying cause. Definitive diagnosis cannot be based on clinical and radiologic findings alone. Serological testing for amebiasis is necessary. In zones where serology is unavailable, response to presumptive metronidazole treatment is still a useful for diagnosis. | lld:pubmed |
