Correct Answer: More common in left side
Description: In 70% of cases it is a single large abscess, in 30% it is multiple, may involve both lobes. Problems and difficulties in treating, in addition to poor prognosis are more common in multiple abscesses. * An amoebic liver abscess is more common in right posterior-superior region (80%) because of streamline effect, i.e., the poal vein is in direct continuation with the right branch.
