Abstract
A case report on infantile amoebic abscess is presented. Pitfalls in the proper diagnosis are mentioned. These
include the general belief that the condition is rare and the difficulties encountered in recovery of the offending
organisms both in stools and from the liver abscess. The pus itself may also not be characteristic. The need for early
diagnosis is emphasized and we recommend draining the abscess and instituting metronidazole.
