  • Title: Amebic liver abscess with bacterial superinfection in a patient with no epidemiologic risk factors.
    Author: Sáchez-Pobre P, Sáenz-López S, Salto E, Sanjuán R, Ibero C, Masedo A, Solís Herruzo JA.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 2004 Nov; 96(11):796-800. PubMed ID: 15584853.
    Abstract:
    The amebic liver abscess is uncommon in developed countries like Spain, but the incidence is increasing probably due to the migratory movements of the population. We report a case of an amebic abscess, initially unsuspected due to the absence of epidemiologic risk factors and the negative serology for amebiasis, in the early stages of the disease.
