Author(s):

Abstract:

In this report, we present a rare case of concurrent amoebic and pyogenic liver abscess in a 50-year-old immunocompetent male with occasional alcohol use, who responded favourably to percutaneous drainage and combination antimicrobial and antibacterial therapy. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for mixed infections, especially in endemic settings, and highlights the need for tailored therapeutic strategies to address dual microbial involvement.
