Twelve cases were presented as amoebic liver abscess. They were clinically diagnosed and confirmed by screening, selective hepatic angiography and aspiration of abscess cavity. History of cortisone therapy was obtained in 66 per cent of the cases within a period of 1--3 months. Corticosteroids being immunosuppressive drugs may turn dormant amoebic hepatitis into liver abscess.
有12例表现为阿米巴肝脓肿。这些病例通过筛查、选择性肝血管造影及脓肿腔穿刺抽吸进行临床诊断并得以确诊。66%的病例在1至3个月内有使用皮质类固醇治疗的病史。皮质类固醇作为免疫抑制药物可能会使潜伏性阿米巴肝炎转变为肝脓肿。
