[Ultrasonographic features of liver abscess based on a 58-case series in Cameroon].
Amoebic abscess is the most frequent type of liver abscess in tropical areas, including in immunocompromised patients. Abscesses affect the right lobe in 74% of cases and are solitary in more than 80%. The ultrasonographic features of liver abscess vary according to stage, viscosity of liquid contents, amount of debris inside and presence of gas bubbles. Multiple small abcesses are mainly associated with pyogenic abscess and are promoted by HIV infection.
