Ultrasound examination was conducted on 150 patients with hepatic amoebic abscesses. Twenty of 150 patients were found to have various complications such as direct thoracic involvement, peritoneal rupture, subphrenic collection, obstructive jaundice and ascites. Ultrasound examination of the liver is not only useful in demonstrating the abscess cavity but it also depicts the complications extremely well.

Bancroftian microfilariasis in association with pulmonary tuberculosis. Report of a case with diagnosis by fine needle aspiration.

A 25-year-old man presented with clinical and radiologic features suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis. Since the examination of Ziehl-Neelsen-stained sputum smears for acid-fast bacilli was repeatedly negative, a transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed. Papanicolaou-stained smears of the aspirate showed microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti and a tuberculous exudate but no acid-fast bacilli or classic granulomas. Subsequent sputum samples did show acid-fast bacilli, while a nocturnal peripheral blood sample showed microfilariae.
