Abstract
Studies on cell-mediated immune response (CMIR) to amebia antigen in amebic liver abscess showed conflicting results. The leucocyte migration test was employed in nine cases of amebic liver abscess and CMIR to amebic antigen was demonstrated in four cases. The role of CMIR in the pathogenesis of amebic liver abscess remains unknown but its presence is confirmed.
