Abstract

The liver is frequently involved in infections that are prevalent in different regions of the tropics. Chronic liver disease, sometimes of multiple aetiologies, is an important cause of early morbidity and mortality. This article describes some hepatic and biliary problems that are seen in the tropics, or which may be imported from the tropics.
