Host genetic susceptibility is an important risk factor in infectious diseases. We explored the distribution of Q223R mutation in leptin receptor gene of amoebic liver abscess (ALA) patients of North India. A total of 55 ALA samples along with 102 controls were subjected to PCR-RFLP analysis. The frequency of allele “G” (coding for arginine) was in general high in Indian population irrespective of the disease. Our results of Fisher exact test shows that heterozygous mutant (QQ versus QR,P=0.049) and homozygous mutant (QQ versus RR,P=0.004) were significantly associated with amoebic liver abscess when compared with homozygous wild (QQ).

In developing countries Amoebic liver abscess is commonly encountered disease and it’s also the commonest extraintestinal manifestation of Entamoeba histolytica infection. Usual complication of Amoebic liver abscess arises due to collection of pus in various cavities, like in peritoneal cavity following perforation, in the pleural cavity which is known as empyema thoracis, and rarely it is complicated by life threatening conditions such as venous extension of the disease involving the hepatic veins and IVC, with only few cases reported. Here we describe a case of amoebic liver abscess extending across middle hepatic vein.
