My daughter has been suffering from an abcess on her liver & the doctors have been treating it aggressively with mega doses of different antibiotics via IV infusion. However, today, they just announced that she may have some sort of amoeba & are testing her blood. What can we expect to happen now? What is the logical next step?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  As you describe it appears to be the amoebic liver abscess. In this the sputum will be in chocolate colored. Diagnosis can be confirmed by the needle biopsy.  I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.  I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms' metronidazole, iv two times daily along with other medicines.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
