Abstract

Amoebiasis is parasitic infection occur due to protozoan parasite, Entamoeba histolytica in human being. It commonly resides in large intestine but can invade to other organs Amoebic Liver Abscess (ALA) is the most common complication of invasive amoebiasis. Aim and Objective: The present study was planned to determine the demographic profile and symptoms of liver abscess with Iron deficiency Anemia.Materials and Method: The present study was conducted on 50 confirmed liver abscess cases on the basis of radiological images, which were above 20 years of age were considered for the study. The estimations of the hemoglobin, serum ferritin, serum iron, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) by cell counter and ELISA method. Results: The study has shown that the value of mean and standard division serum ferritin (11.17 ± 2.57), serum Iron (42.45 ± 3.69), MCV (79.69 ± 21.57), and Hb (12.11 ±1.67) is significantly low as compared to serum TIBC (816 ± 155.19) in liver abscess patient. Conclusion: ALA presents itself through various non-specific symptoms and signs. Confirmation of the diagnosis is made possible with the help of radiological and microbiological attributes. Early diagnosis and prompt iron profile treatment may decline the overall mortality/morbidity associated with the disease
