    Background:

    • Invasive amoebiasis is caused by Entamoeba histolytica.
    • Perineal involvement is rare but can be devastating.

    Observation:

    • A 14-month-old female infant presented with invasive perineal amoebiasis.
    • Significant destruction of the anus, rectovaginal septum, pelvic floor, and perineum was observed.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the rapid progression and destructive potential of perineal amoebiasis.
