Erythromycin in Amebic Liver Abscess

A. J. Wilmot, S. J. Powell AND R. Elsdon-Dew
The Amoebiasis Research Unit and the Department of Medicine, University of Natal,1 Durban

Erythromycin, 500 mg, was given every 6 hours for 10 days to six patients suffering from amebic liver abscess.

Two cases apparently responded, the remainder either failed to respond or relapsed.

By comparison with emetine and chloroquine, erythromycin is ineffective in amebic liver abscess.
