ULTRASONOGRAPHIC AND PATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION OF LIVER ABSCESS.

Chandan Yadav, Rajneesh Madhok, Tanu Agrawal, Anil Negi

Abstract


INTRODUCTION- USG is cheaper, effective, quick, painless, non-invasive investigation for Sonographic features of liver abscess with no radiation hazard. Guided FNAC of the liver is a safe, simple, cost-effective and accurate method for cytological diagnosis of hepatic abscess.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES- Sonographic features of liver abscess. Microscopic & Culture evaluation of aspirate. Co-relation between sonographic features and pathological evaluation.  

MATERIALS & METHODS- Patients referred to the department of Radiodiagnosis for Sonological evaluation of pain in abdomen and fever. Patients with liver SOL with suspicion of liver abscess were included in the study .Protocols included History, Routine laboratory investigations followed by USG guided FNA of the abscess & cytological co-relation of the aspirate.

RESULTS- Out of 40 patients (37 male and 03 females), 39 patients had sterile aspirate and only 1 patient was diagnosed positive for entamoeba histolytica. Maximum no of cases in the age group of 21-30 & 41-50 years.The most common complaint was pain abdomen followed by fever.

CONCLUSION- Most patients were treated by blanket treatment which included the Antibiotics as well as Antiamoebics, the isolation rate for presence of any microorganism in this study was very low.
