--- abstract: 'Amoebic liver abscess is the most common extraintestinal manifestation of amoebiasis. Extrahepatic amoebic abscesses have occasionally been described in the lung, brain, and skin and presumably result from hematogenous spread. Isolated amoebic abscess of spleen has been reported scarcely in literature. We report here a case of isolated amoebic abscess of spleen.' altloc: - http://www.ojhas.org/issue45/2013-1-5.html chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - madankaushik2002@yahoo.com - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ creators_name: - family: Kaushik given: M honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Mahajan given: S honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Raina given: R honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Babu given: S honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Raghav given: S honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Sood given: S honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Guleria given: R honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2013-04-15 date_type: published datestamp: 2014-02-25 12:40:43 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/91/39 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: - Kakkilaya BS editors_name: - family: Kakkilaya given: Srinivas honourific: Dr lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 9139 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/9139/1/2013-1-5.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: Entamoeba histolytica; Extraintestinal amebiasis; Splenic abscess; Trophozoites lastmod: 2014-02-25 12:40:43 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 1(5) pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences publisher: Kakkilaya BS refereed: TRUE referencetext: "1.\tStanley SL Jr. Amoebiasis.
