Twenty-four @entity1 were admitted to Kasr-El-Aini Hospital with suspected diagnoses of @entity9111 . The @entity1 underwent clinical examinations, stool specimen analyses for cysts and trophozoites of @entity2330 , radiologic examinations, and routine liver function tests. In one @entity1 , a liver scintiscan was obtained. Ultrasonographic examination was performed on all @entity1 using the gray scale imaging technique. In 20 @entity1 , the diagnoses of @entity9111 were demonstrated by ultrasonographic examination. In 19 @entity1 , @entity9111 were verified by aspiration biopsies (95%), and one @entity1 had a false-positive result. This false-positive result was due to a degenerated @entity157 , demonstrated by aspiration biopsy. Of the 19 @entity1 , 12 @entity1 (63.12%) had right lobe abscesses and seven (36.89%) had @entity867 . The site, size and nature of the pus contained in the abscess could be determined by ultrasonographic examination and, therefore, helped in the management and technique of the aspiration biopsy. In addition, follow-up data could be more detailed using ultrasonographic examinations. Ultrasonographic examination is a noninvasive, safe, accurate, and rapid method of diagnosis, and is highly recommended as a routing procedure in all cases of suspected @entity9111 in the pre- and posttreatment stages of the disease. It is also recommended as an indicator of complete cure at follow-up examination.
