Globally, liver abscess caused by Entamoeba histolytica is a common condition. In New Zealand, however, it occurs infrequently. Eight cases were diagnosed in Auckland between 1972 and 1982, each patient having travelled through an endemic area within two years of presentation. Management often was not ideal, with both delays in diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. There is a need for increased awareness of possible amoebic abscesses in those who have been in endemic areas because with prompt use of effective treatment complications can be avoided.
