Ascites, Right Pleural Effusion and Sepsis Due to Amebic Liver Abscess -A Case Report with Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Infection with Entamoeba histolytica (the"tissue-lysing ameba") causes amebiasis, which is commonly prevalent in tropical countries. It commonly manifests with intestinal symptoms and sometimes with extraintestinal features like fever and liver abscesses with pleural or, pericardial effusion. We report a case of amebiasis presenting with massive pleural effusion, ascites and fever, which we initially thought to be cirrhosis of liver with its complications.
