The hepatic abnormalities are the major concern in the developing countries like India due to poor hygiene and lower socioeconomic status of the people. The consumption of alcohol adds on to worsen the case. As the treatment essentials are different in amoebic and pyogenic liver abscess, the identification and enhancing factor identification is necessary to carry out the treatment. The study was based on the serological, clinical, biochemical and radiological examinations of the patients. It was observed that the chances of multiple abscesses were higher (35%) in case of alcoholic patients in comparison to that of non-alcoholic patients (5%). The presence of Entamoeba histolytica was comparatively high in the alcoholic patients. Though, negative correlation with weight loss was observed in this study.
