Amebic liver abscess remains a significant health concern, particularly in regions with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. It is more prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas, affecting populations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Factors such as overcrowding, poor hygiene practices, and compromised immune systems contribute to the spread of the disease. Preventive measures focus on improving sanitation, promoting safe drinking water practices, and educating communities about the transmission and prevention of amebiasis. Proper food handling and personal hygiene are essential in reducing the risk of infection. Efforts to control the disease also involve treating individuals with intestinal amebiasis promptly to prevent the progression to amebic liver abscess. Surveillance and early detection programs, along with access to effective medical treatment, play crucial roles in reducing the burden of amebic liver abscess on affected populations. Global collaboration and research efforts are ongoing to better understand the epidemiology of amebic liver abscess and to develop improved diagnostic tools and preventive strategies, ultimately aiming to decrease the incidence of this serious parasitic infection.
