The clinical evolution and resolution of amebic liver abscess (ALA) is usually unremarkable. However, factors such as malnutrition, alcoholism, and smoking increase the risk of complications that may be seen with ALA. We present a case of inferior vena cava thrombosis as a complication of ALA. Timely anticoagulation therapy along with antibiotics was given which led to rapid resolution of symptoms.
阿米巴肝脓肿(ALA)的临床进展及转归通常并无异常。然而,诸如营养不良、酗酒和吸烟等因素会增加ALA可能出现的并发症风险。我们报告一例ALA并发下腔静脉血栓形成的病例。给予了及时的抗凝治疗及抗生素治疗,症状得以迅速缓解。
