ABSTRACT
A group of 96 patients with Invasive Hepatic Amebiasis, was studied in a prospective clinical trial. The platelet count was measured for each patient on admission and on the tenth day of treatment. The patient were classified into two groups the first one for patients with unfavorable results and the second one for patients with favorable results. The presence of thrombocytosis was significant in the second group, with a sensitivity of 56% and specificity of 70% in the initial determination, and of 82% and 68% at the tenth day respectively. With this finding, it could be considered that thrombocytosis must be a good prognostic indicators in the Amebic Liver Abscess, and it could be possible to include it in a scale to elucidate the prognosis in a quantitative form, of this pathologic entity.
