    Journal: Int Surg; 1982; 67(4 Suppl):427-9. PubMed ID: 7183599.
    Abstract:
    Forty cases of hepatopulmonary amebiasis secondary to hepatic amebiasis are reported. In an endemic area of amebiasis, this entity should always be borne in mind, as the frequent reports of hepatopulmonary amebiasis gives evidence of the magnitude of the problem. Diagnosis is mainly based on a palpable tender liver and/or lower intercostal tenderness, the fluoroscopic and radiological findings, and therapeutic response to dehydroemetine.
