SANCHEZ-POBRE, P. et al. Amebic liver abscess with bacterial superinfection in a patient with no epidemiologic risk factors. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2004, vol.96, n.11, pp.796-800. ISSN 1130-0108.
The amebic liver abscess is uncommon in developed countries like Spain, but the incidence is increasing probably due to the migratory movements of the population. We report a case of an amebic abscess, initially unsuspected due to the absence of epidemiologic risk factors and the negative serology for amebiasis, in the early stages of the disease.
