    Abstract:
    Two varieties of conditions of shock may be isolated during necrotic amoebic colitis (13 cases). Eight patients present a simple hypovolemic shock secondary to wastage by diarrhea and perilesional oedema with globular, protein, alcaline and potassic deficiency. Its prognosis is relatively good, after vascular infilling and corrections of metabolic disorders. Five other patients present real toxi-infectious shock resulting from widespread tissue necrosis with auto-intoxication associated with septicemic complications. Its prognosis is frankly bad. The treatment is far more difficult. The use of cardiovascular analeptics, such as dopamine, after an infilling failure, is not always sufficient to re-establish the situation. The exeresis of necrotic tissues is an indispensable condition to remove the cause of the shock before septicaemic generalisation.
