Individuals with suppressed cell immunity are more commonly encountered with amoebic liver abscess. Liver abscess may be a life threatening condition. Fifty–three patients of confirmed liver abscess are included in this study. The main concern of our data analysis is to study various complications that develop in patients of liver abscess.
