This study deals solely with the problem of intra-hepatic collected suppuration due to an ascaris migration through the liver ducts. It is due to the infestation of the intestine germs carried away by the worm but not by the ascaris itself which can die calcified inside the liver without hearing of it, provided no mechanical complication has happened, or if it has returned to the intestine environment. When the illness starts with hepatic colic, a pyrexy with a painful right hypochondria and a painful liver-swelling, if the positive diagnosis, that can have been made from the cutaneous allergy test, the R.A.S.T. [Radioallergosorbent Test]. the sonographic diagnosis, the cholangiography and the C.T. scan, can be proved only by curative aiming surgery, mainly in on-endemic countries. The pre and post-operative anti-helmintics are strongly advised to avoid a reinfestation of the illness.
