| drug and immuno-diagnostic resistant amoebic liver abscess in ibadan: an elucidation of a possible mechanism. | a thick fibrous walling of amoebic abscess of the liver is very rare. using as a basis the case of drug and immunodiagnostic resistant amoebic liver abscess in an adult nigerian, an account is given of the possible mechanisms for such therapeutic and diagnostic failure. a theory of blood-abscess cavity barrier is postulated and suggested as a mechanism for the constant failure to detect antibodies to e. histolytica in the small percentage of cases of amoebic liver abscess (morris, powell and els ... | 1976 | 189058 |
