Resolution time of amoebic liver abscess by micro-opaque barium sulphate.

Resolution time of amoebic liver abscess in 20 males aged 20-80 yrs. as studied by intra-cavitary micro-opaque barium sulphate ranged from 24-284 days (mean 74.8 S.D. +/- 8.4). Sic of these patients also underwent Indium11m scanning. The resolution time by scanning varied from 24-114 days (Mean 58.3 days S.D. +/- 4.6). No correlation was found between the size of abscess and resolution time. Resolution time studied by two methods was statistically significant. Instillation of micro-opaque barium sulphate is an inexpensive, reliable and a safe method which does not require sophisticated equipment.
