83 well documented cases of amoebic hepatic abscess, treated in the Philippines between 1967 and 1975, are presented with a view to showing the results of 3 different methods of management and comparing the diagnostic accuracy and overall mortality in 2 separate groups. It is concluded that conservative medical management is generally successful and that the abscess cavity can resolve rapidly without the need for aspiration. Death is certain in those who are not treated and mortality is high in those whose abscesses are complicated by perforation. The combination of dehydroemetine, chloroquine and tetracycline is still an effective treatment.
本文介绍了1967年至1975年在菲律宾治疗的83例有充分记录的阿米巴肝脓肿病例，旨在展示3种不同治疗方法的效果，并比较两个不同组别的诊断准确性和总体死亡率。得出的结论是，保守药物治疗通常是成功的，脓肿腔无需穿刺即可迅速消退。未接受治疗者必死无疑，脓肿并发穿孔者死亡率很高。去氢依米丁、氯喹和四环素联合使用仍是一种有效的治疗方法。
