Correct Answer: Radiographically unresolved lesion after 6 months after 6 months
Description: Amoebic liver abscess Although clinical improvement after adequate treatment with antiamoebic agents is the rule, radiologic resolution of the abscess cavity is usually delayed The average time to radiologic resolution is 3 to 9 months and can take as long as years in some patients Studies have shown that more than 90% of the visible lesions disappear radiologically, but a small percentage of patients are left with a clinically irrelevant residual lesion Ref: Sabiston 20th edition Pgno : 1452
