SARS-CoV-2 is the third and largest pandemic that emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province, China in 2019. As per WHO 45,988,595 people have been infected and the COVID 19 has caused more than 1,194,979 deaths. The clinical spectrum of COVID 19 varies from asymptomatic presentation to multi-organ dysfunction. The pathophysiology behind the sequel of COVID 19 immuno-suppression is an area yet to be explored. Here, we report a case of 52 year old male with persistent pyrexia post his recovery from COIVD-19. On further evaluation, a diagnosis of amoebic liver abscess that resulted as a sequel of COVID-19 was made.

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.

Leptospirosis is a disease caused by spirochaeta microorganism of the genus Leptospira, while the amoebic liver abscess is an extraintestinal complication by Entamoeba Histolytica. Both diseases occurred in a 45-year-old man with poor personal hygiene and environment sanitation. Amoebic liver abscess was found to be a coincidence that was thought to have existed before the patient developed leptospirosis so that the two diseases caused overlapping clinical manifestations in the patient, but the acute symptoms experienced by the patient at the time of admission were more likely to be caused by his leptospirosis. Patient complained of high fever, yellowing of the skin and eyes, urinating like concentrated tea, stiffness in both legs, nausea, vomiting and heartburn. On physical examination found febrile, tachycardia, icteric on skin and sclera, ciliary injection, and hepatomegaly. Laboratory tests showed mild anemia with normocytic normochromic features, leukocytosis with neutrophilia shift to the right, thrombocytosis, increased ESR, prolonged APTT, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated SGOT SGPT, ALP and GGT enzymes, hypoalbuminemia, hyperglobulinemia, and bilirubinuria. Microscopic examination with negative staining of urine samples found Leptospira. Abdominal ultrasound examination showed a solitary space occupying lesion (SOL) in the right lobe of the liver and on serological examination showed positive antiamoeba. Based on the above, this patient was diagnosed as having coincident leptospirosis with amoebic liver abscess.
