  • Title: [Acute amebic abscess of the liver followed by colonic ulcers. Report of 2 cases].
    Author: Chigot JP, Dournovo P, Danis M, Felix H, Gentilini M, Mercadier M.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1975 Nov; 110(5):439-44. PubMed ID: 4462.
    Abstract:
    Two unusual cases of ruptured acute amebic liver abcess are presented one with inferior vena caval compression. Surgical drainage was followed by the development of colonic complications (haemorrhage and perforation) although the patients were under specific therapy. After a new surgical operation both cases were cured. The relation with amebiasis is discussed. The possibility of such an association must always be kept in mind. The value of immunofluorescence test in the diagnosis is emphasised.
