Abstract:
Amebic liver abscess is the main complication of amebic dysentery. Recurrences after treatment and apparent healing are very uncommon. The purpose of this report is to describe the case of a patient with a very late relapse of an amebic liver abscess, 10 years after the first episode. This recurrence seems due to an incomplete initial treatment. This case illustrates the reason for and importance of complying with the current therapeutic strategy: nitroimidazole followed by a luminal agent to eradicate intestinal amebic colonization.
