title: Hepatic amebiasis-analysis of 56 cases. II. Laboratory and chest x-ray findings.
abstract: Laboratory and chest x-ray findings in 56 cases of hepatic amebiasis previously reported are described. Anemia and an  elevated E.S.R., frequently without an elevated leucocyte count, were the most frequent hematologic findings. Abnormalities of liver function tests were mild and nonspecific. The most frequent abnormalities seen in chest x-ray were an elevated right hemidiaphragm whose motility on fluoroscopy was reduced or abolished. The abnormalities may be of great help in diagnosis in endemic areas were more sophisticated facilities may not be available.
