Abstract EN
Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is by far the most common extra intestinal manifestation of invasive amoebiasis.
The vast majority of these resolve with treatment ; however, a small percentage of the treated ALAs are known to persist asymptomatically.
Herein, we present a prospective renal allograft recipient with a residual liver abscess who had a successful renal transplant after treatment.
In our opinion, persistence of a radiological finding of residual abscess in the absence of clinical disease does not appear to be a contraindication to renal transplantation.
