Resumen
BRICENO-SANTANA, Miguel et al. Necrotizing amebian colitis, case report. Rev. chil. infectol. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.5, pp.599-603. ISSN 0716-1018. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0716-10182020000500599.
Background:
Amebiasis has been defined by World Health Organization (WHO) and Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) as the infection with Entamoeba histolytica regardless of symptoms. Necrotizing amoebic colitis is a rare clinical form of amebosis that is associated with high morbidity and mortality.
Case Report:
We present a 68-years-old-female patient with necrotizing amoebic colitis with multiple perforations who survived after right hemicolectomy with ileus-transverse anastomosis.
Conclusions:
Effective interventions to prevent amebic colitis, and additional therapies to treat fulminant amebic colitis are needed to improve outcomes.
