Overview

The secondary prevention of amoebic liver abscess includes long-term follow-up after treatment. Ultrasound is the main imaging technique used during the follow-up period. The mean time for the disappearance of sonographic features (hypoechoic lesions) is 6-9 months.

Secondary prevention

Secondary prevention strategies following amoebic liver abscess include:

  • The secondary prevention of amoebic liver abscess includes long-term follow-up after treatment.
  • Ultrasound is the main imaging technique used during the follow-up period. The mean time for the disappearance of sonographic features (hypoechoic lesions) is 6-9 months.
  • The patterns of resolution on follow-up include:
  • Type I: where complete disappearance of the cavity occurs within 3 months (29.8%)
