    Journal: Pathog Glob Health; 2014 Jan; 108(1):53-7. PubMed ID: 24548161.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of amebiasis generating 19 large liver abscesses. Such a quantity of abscesses is rare, especially when occurring in a young casual traveler without any immunodeficiency disorders. A possible co-infection was excluded. By contrast, the amebic etiology was confirmed by means of serology and real-time PCR.
