1. To assess the frequency, clinical picture, microbiological and radiological characteristics of liver abscesses.
Data will be statistically evaluated by SPSS version 22. Numerical data will be expressed as means ± SDs. Categorical data will be expressed as frequencies (percentages). Comparison between groups will be conducted using t-test or Chi square test as appropriate. P value \<0.05 will be considered as significant.
