Abstract
Amoebic colitis is a common infection in all population groups across all geographical barriers and is an easily treatable
disease in its routine manifestations. However, he has its set of complications that carry poor prognosis. Amoebic liver
abscess is a common complication but its association with caecal perforation is rare, and carries worst prognosis. No
survivors have been documented in the available literature and the result was pretty much the same in our study.
