Amoebic Liver Abscesses in Returning Travelers: Lessons to Keep in Mind From a Nonendemic Area. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Despite being relatively common in endemic settings, amoebic liver abscesses are rarely diagnosed in high‐resource countries, where they are usually imported by migrants or travelers to endemic areas. Between 2010 and 2024, we observed two cases of amoebic liver abscess that were successfully managed in a tertiary‐care center in Italy.

Evaluation of the PEΔIII-LC3-KDEL3 Chimeric Protein of Entamoeba histolytica-Lectin as a Vaccine Candidate against Amebic Liver Abscess

Journal of Immunology Research, 2021
Entamoeba histolytica is an intestinal parasite that causes dysentery and amebic liver abscess. E. histolytica has the capability to invade host tissue by union of virulence factor Gal/GalNAc lectin; this molecule induces an adherence-inhibitory antibody

The recording of a single case of amebic dysentery can be justified only by particular circumstances. In this case the geographic source of the infection is my chief reason, a secondary cause being the desire to emphasize the need of further work in this class of cases. THE CASE IN POINT. History. —H.

AMEBIC DYSENTERY IN CHILDREN [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1914
Amebic dysentery is a relatively rare disease in children, not because children are not susceptible to the infection but because they are less exposed to the etiologic factors which cause the infection in the adult.
