A 20 years old male was referred from a district hospital having a refractory amebic liver abscess, not responding to metronidazole and aspiration. At presentation, he had pain in the right upper abdominal quadrant (RUAQ) with guarding and rigidity, accompanied by fever, vomiting and dyspnea. A diagnosis of ruptured amebic liver abscess (ALA) was made. The patient was managed successfully with ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) and metronidazole.
